I read this twice and probably should read it a few more times.
Anyway, I'm thinking just by not giving AKC papers or giving a limited registration is not going to stop puppy mills or even prevent your puppies from winding up there - it doesn't make since.
The only thing I see happening if all "breeders" retain papers or give limited registration is the price of an AKC yorkie would be driven higher. I dislike puppy mills as much as everyone else, but I think the real reason behind this writing is to keep others from breeding quality AKC Yorkies at reasonable prices.
I hate seeing "Wanted Free teacup Yorkie", but I also think there are excellent homes out there that can't afford to pay outrageous prices, but can still provide a quality home and vet care. |
