 breeding
LadyHawk has hit the nail on the head...people go to the breeder expecting to get a Yorkie. When the pup does not turn out to have the traits of a Yorkie then they have been cheated IMO...
Time to repeat the the bakers story for the new members don't you think? I go to the bakery and ask for an angel food cake, but the baker puts a chocolate cake in the box. I go home and I call the baker to complain I did not get what I paid for..the baker says.."So what, chocolate cake is also a cake and good to eat"..BUT I wanted angel food... It is the bakers responsiblity to go by the "recipe" and produce what I paid for...the same as the Yorkie breeder is suppose to follow the "recipe" which is the standard and produce a pup with as many of the Yorkie traits as humanly possible...you see, when a breeder overlooks major faults (flop ears are major) then what else will they accept fault-wise...bad bites, poor top lines, incorrect coats, aggression, shyness...on and on...soon the Yorkie looks like a mutt...and I love mutts, but people should not paid $1500 for one...they can be rescued from the pound. |
