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. |
Yes. I was using a term that it does not matter if you like or do not, is used to talk about the size of Yorkies.
You might think you are 'educating', but your just being Hateful of a word used to describe smaller, more correctly bred size, of the breed we are on a Forum about.
<sighs> It is NOT just Breeders who breed for
Conformational Shows (there are other types of 'dog shows'.) REPUTABLE BREEDERS breed by the Standard for the Breed.....the ENTIRE Standard, not just size. But SIZE MATTERS!
I am done.
