If there is a problem with someone, there is usually a darn good reason for it and as I posted previously, if someone does something in Yorkies the whole free world knows about it and as a show breeder we will protect our dogs and our breed.
I posted on this thread in the first place because it felt to me a lot of discredit was given to show breeders. Then of course, those not involved in the show world are not going to have a hope of understanding what it is about. |
Lorraine,
As said on another thread, yorkie exhibitor breeders are cast in an not so desirable light on some yorkie forums.
But, you and I know that there is bad in good in every area of life.
I for one, like you had to prove myself and continue to do so to be accepted in the show world. It wasn't an easy road, lots of hard work, blood, sweat, tears and a strong love of the breed. There is no easy short cut.
