Default breeding

A friend of mine knew Ethel Munday very well., well respected UK foundation breeder..Ethel used to fast her Yorkies on Sunday...they got barley water and nothing else. She was big on resting the "gut" as she said.
There used to be lots of close inbreeding...father/daughter was in so many peds...there was a need back then to set type..but rarely needed now...a good YT mag article said inbreeding is a thing of the past and can be deterimental to a breeding program.

All breeders must decide for themselves...
