 The Cart before the Horse?
That was well said......and I know I promised to bite my Tongue, but it seems like alot of people/owners are Breeding for too many wrong reasons? You own your Yorkie and you have every right to do what ever you want with him or her. From what I'm hearing alot of you are buying "Pet Quality" Yorkie's and deciding to Breed them later on......seems to me that, that is not something you decide in the end it should be done from the beginning by purchasing a
"Breeding or Show Quality" Yorkie, one that would represent the AKC. Standard or as close as possible to it? By doing Research, Testing and studying the genetics & Bloodlines it takes alot of work & effort! It seems to me that if you Breed the Best you will produce the Best? Even if you are only Breeding for Friends & Family, I've heard that many times from my own Sisters and Mother even, but when it comes down to it, most of the time they never really want a Yorkie too, especially after they find out how high maintenance thay are? My Sister waited 2 yrs. and finally got a Yorkie from a major Pet Store, on Mother's Day as a surprise from her Husband b/c he got tired of hearing her nag @ him! Well she regrets it now, since I have had a Litter of 3. Well her Husband didn't mind paying $2,000.00 to the Pet Store, but he definetly wouldn't have paid me that money - since I am "Family"? |
