I think you drew a very clear picture. I doubt that anything will change though. You're sort of "preaching to the choir" here.
You have some education in genetics, therfore you see things differently than a lot of people. You have also taken the time to study the breed which many haven't.
Many of the YTr's, including myself, (and I have owned 2 yorkies before), didn't know much about the breed when they bought their first yorkie, and before they came to YT.
They bought it because they thought it was cute and someone told them it was registered, so they thought this must be what all yorkies look like.
They came to YT, either because they had a question, or because they were excited and wanted to talk to other yorkie owners, or maybe, as in my case, they wanted to learn more about the breed, before they started breeding them.
It's too bad we can't educate everyone before they buy, or breed. But the sad truth is, there are many breeders out that that, even if they knew, they wouldn't care. |
