But. I also know that what I call reputable, is a breeder that breed the breed they are breeding as close to the STANDARD FOR THE BREED as they are able.
Breeding dogs too large, is as bad as breeding too small.... Many Yorkies are OVER sized for Carin Terriers..... |
Oh but I did read what you wrote
"
It could be that you have a Yorkie that was bred small, know to many as Teacups."
You threw it right out there with that comment.
A reputable breeder that breeds "show dogs" does their homework when
they have a breeding pair. Before they breed the dogs the breeder checks back several generations for genetic health issues on both the male and female because, they are breeding for their next champion. This is a breeder ppl should buy from because, the mamma is fed good food, and is well taken care of, they may not get a champion out of a litter but what the buyer gets is a healthy puppy.
Back yard breeders (BYB) are looking for big bucks, they do no background on their breeding pairs, and breed what ppl want, tiny dogs. It's a buyer beware.
This is called "educating" people.
