Every dog is the best dog in the world to its owner. Responsible breeders however, know to avoid "Kennel blindness", in other words, they take a step back and honestly evaluate the good and bad points of their own dogs before making the decision to breed them. The goal of breeding, after all is to produce a better dog. Examine your dog carefully. Recognize its flaws. If you decide to continue with the breeding process look for a mate that will eliminate or balance those flaws.
Now that I have your Attention your probably ready to kill me?
I didn't write this.....I copied it from the AKC. website.
www.akc.org, under BREEDERS, then RESPONSIBLE BREEDING STEPS - there are 22 steps listed this was a paragraph from "Step 2". It really hit home w/me since I have been seeing so many threads here especially under "General Yorkie Discussion"
about "Nuetering & Spaying" and trying to decide to "Breed" their Pets?
For all those who have this dilema, I suggest reading all 22 steps maybe it will change your mind and give you some insight?
I'm not trying to offend or judge anyone, just trying to share more information in hopes that others will realize that "Breeding" is not as simple as it seems, a cute puppy lasts a Lifetime.
