1 st. What does KWIM stand for???????? This was from Monofone.
2nd Abby cost Judy $1500 dollars and like alot of others on Yorkie Talk was told she would be AKC standered size.
3rd Abby has had 2 litters her first litter was 2 boys Judy the owner couldn't sale them, no one wanted them for $500 so she gave them to family members instead. The 2nd litter now is on line here for sale. No one has contacted her about them. They are beautiful pups BUT they are males and they are already a little over 4 lbs at 4 months. Yes she had 2 boys again no others. And they are 4 months old one had his ears up the other dosn't. Judy is asking $500 for them. They are AKC register but they are going to be large dogs like their mother. No one really wants them that big. So JUdy will probably give them to family or friends again, it is time for them to have forever homes... It is not the pups fault or the parents the father weighs 3 1/2 lbs Judy now knows they are not taking after him.
4th For the ones that says Abby has given her weight in gold is wrong Yes she has had two litters with a different male used this 2nd time but the same results again.. Judy is trying to build a sound breeding program. It is not Abby's fault that she has "flaws" as someone said but Judy cannot keep every dog even if she is treated as family. It is time for her to find a forever home she is only 2 yrs. Judy wants to know the family that gets her. If they are not worthy of Abby then no matter how much they offer for her, she will not go with them. period.......
5th If you look on here in the for sale area you will she that others have older dogs that are not pups. And they are selling them in the neighborhood that Judy is selling Abby for. The right person would be happy to buy her and others at that price, and you know that they would be finding a forever loving home, Could it be said that if she was sold for alot less and (Abby is not spayed) that someone could just use her as a breeding animal and not care for her at all. Judy is the owner not me. I am only her friend that was trying to do something nice for Abby and 5 male puppies to find the best home possible. Judy is the one that will have the final word on her babies.
Judy has right now 5 male pups, 2 studs, 1 female pup that she is keeping which is 3/4 yorkie & 1/4 maltese age 8 months she is the daughter from the last litter of Judy 1 female spayed 1/2 & 1/2 Maltese that is 4 yrs old. She will not sale this one this was her 2nd baby. Then she has Izzy which is 2 yrs old and the mother of 2 little boys for sale she also had 2 girls which is sold. and then we come to Abby. So that is a total of 11 dogs in one house. They are not kenneled they are in her home recieving love and attention....
6th If someone is interested in Abby why havent' you called and talked to Judy and see about the price that offends some of you maybe a deal could of been worked out. Now I don't know..
7 I read all of the messeages to Judy to let her know what she wanted to do about what was being said to me. I Am not the owner only a friend that had permission to try and sale her babies.
8 Everyone has opinoins(IMO) and that is fine but when you go on the attack then you are trying to force your opinions on someone else instead of making a suggestion. You get get more bees with honey instead of vingear just "IMO".
9 I just hope Abby finds a really loving home that wants her for her.. Like someone said at least there won't be any surprizes she is already grown up...
10 I hope this ends this attack and your questions are answered. Because you didn't just attacked me you attack a lot of others that are breeders.
11 Now with all that said Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays |
I certainly am not attacking anyone. Yes, everyone has an opinion and are free to express it, especially on a discussion board. That is what a discussion board is for--to discuss and state your opionions, etc.
I am sorry if I have offended anyone, however that is, and will always be, my opinion regarding getting rid of an animal when it ceases to be a money maker. And that is excatly what is happening in this situation. The dog produces puppies that are very difficult if not impossible to sell, so therefore she no longer has any value to her owner. She will now be sold and replaced with another female that can produce puppies that can make the owner a profit. Unless I am reading the posts incorrectly or I am missing something--that pretty much sums it up in a nutshell.
As I said in a prior post, I personally could never get rid of an animal that I raised and loved for 2 years in my "loving and caring" home. However if others can do this, that is their business and their conscience. I just feel bad for the poor dogs. They may not be human but they still have feelings and can feel confused, rejected and afraid.
Again this is just my opinion, but I could no more give away one of my pets (let alone sell them) then I could have given away one of my kids.
IMO, when you take on the responsibility of an animal it is for the long haul. If the animal does not meet the breeding standards you need to gain a profit from breeding it--that is just the chance you take. Pretty much like with many things in life. If the animal is not suitable for breeding then you don't breed it. You took a chance and it did not work out, however you still have a loving and loyal pet that is attached to you and hopefully you are attached to it.
I, like many others on this board, have a Yorkie that was sold to me as AKC standard and is not. I also paid a substantial amount ($1,200.00). Am I disappointed that she is not more breed standard--yes. However, I love her dearly and could never even think about selling her. We are all so attached to her, she is part of the family. I have not sold or given away any family members yet---and there are some that really test my love, lol--So I certainly would not start selling or giving away my animals, that give me nothing but unconditional love and happiness.
Happy Holidays to you too!
BTW, KWIM means: know what I mean.
