 Bam" "
I want to say "Well put" on the lap warmers segment on this thread.
Further, what I meant was that some people who attend shows go in w/ an air about them that their dogs back home (whom they are planning on breeding) are breed worthy Yorkies and go into a show thinking that the "supposedly show/good quality" Yorkies couldn't possibly be much different than what they have at home. I've had a large handful of my clients who were those very people, go to a show w/ me and put there hands on these dogs and talk to breeders/owners/handlers (after these people have alreayd had their chance in the ring and actually had time to chat) and put their breeding regimine on hold back home because they realized what they were missing! Now two have mentors and while they don't have the finances to show (showing in Rally can be cheaper, just pick something) and since that was the case realized they also didn't have the money up front for a C-section should they need to or have the money to replace their bitch if she died due to complications. If you're making money as a breeder, you're doing something wrong (most likely).
So, I think I may have just mis-worded myself once more. In regards to the size, I go by the "common sense" method, or proportion method. Remember these are supposed to be square dogs. If a breeder achieves that and stays under the seven pound mark, only half their work is done. Everything in moderation and everything in proportion. |
