 breeding
I think I was confusing....a softer then ideal coat is quite common..you can breed to a silk coat to improve it if the breed potential is good quality in other aspects..pedigree, structure..etc etc...
Breeding to appeal to a buyers market is not one of the points of the standard. It is the responsibility of the ethcial breeder to breed according to the standard.. to try as best as possible to produce a correct Yorkie..then educate the buyer as to the correct type..and if they buyer wants other then correct, then let them go elsewhere.
In no way was everyone "okay" with the breeding of the Red leg..but that is for each breeder to decide..you can not legislate ethic's..it is a choice. |
