That's the first step in having a breed recognized.

Thanks for your reply. I'm really not up to speed on the subject but have read somewhere of a method to get a breed recognized by AKC. Aren't there attempts being made to get the Biewer recognized? My point, probably badly made, is that today's 'mutt' can possibly be tomorrow's 'pure-bred'. Anyway, thanks again for your reply.

ceasar49: I am sorry but if you read my reply to the user you quoted, well consider it addressed to you too. Some people need to pick a fight about everything! Both you and the person I emailed!

There will always be pure bred Yorkies, and as long as the mixes are sold as mixes, there should be room for them too. Just because I wouldn't do it, doesn't mean it is a sin for someone else to do it.

And as I've said before "pound" puppies/dogs are just not for everyone. We all should have a choice. I would be more comfortable with the OP's actions if she hunted down the owner/breeder of the dogs in the pound and questioned them. Unless the seller is a puppy mill, or seriously endangering the lives of the mother/puppies, I think there should be a peaceful co-existence.

Of course this is just my opinion and I realize others may differ. PEACE!

I agree 100% with you!!

However I do feel the reply was rude and uncalled for. If the person was that upset about someone questioning their breeding practices, they could have responded nicer or not responded at all rather than what they did.

For what purpose, other than harrassment, would the OPs email to the breeder have been made? It struck me about as useful as asking a person why they're fat or Jewish.

People can't change what race they are born but dogs are bred to take on different characteristics.

I have to wonder about this opening post.
Did you really think you would get a *Pat on the back*
here on YT for writing this woman? ........
While I DONT like her language at all.
Did you expect her to be nice to you?
We ALL have an opinion about things in life.
But it is not nice for us to try to force those on others.
While I do not like the term "designer dogs"
Its very offensive to read beautiful dogs being called "mutts"
Again...that's just someone's opinion....
I hope you think twice before writing someone like this again....
Have a great day all

good post....

[cj125]

Well this is going to be a hot topic but I'm going to go ahead and put my 2 cents in - hopefully in a respectful manner.

If this lady is going to post her breeding practices on the internet then she should be prepared to hear comments or questions about it... she's putting it out there for the whole world to see.

I don't know if this is the same lady but I saw one that had 6 different breeds that she was breeding together. SIX! That is not for anything but money!

I have seen so many distorted looking dogs that have been interbred lately - it's sad. I saw a Boston Terrier and a Beagle that looked like they were on stilts!

People who know nothing about breeding should NOT breed on purpose - the reason I believe this is because you can bet that they are not testing for any faults that those particular dogs may have and they are only furthering the faults in the offsprings they are producing. This causes alot of heartache for people who end up with these dogs and alot of dogs that have health problems later in life.

I understand that mixed breeds are loved and wanted and some are so darn cute... but leave that to the people that know what they're doing. If people want to start a new breed, there are proper ways of going about it - and I doubt that she is.

JMO...

[cj125]

Oh, I forgot to say that while I know that pound/shelter animals are not for everyone - as long as people keep breeding for no other reason but to breed - that is where alot of them are ending up. Have you watched what happens to these dogs when they're in shelters? It's horrific! Below are a couple of sites that haunt me... please check them out.

I believe in spaying & neutering your pets.

No, I was not expecting a "pat on the back". And no I didn't not expect her to be nice just civil. And FYI by doing exactly what I did with this person, I have stopped 2 local "breeders" from breeding these "designer breeds". YT is starting to get more and more negative. With more and More negative users. If someone inquired as to the reason why you were breeding would you automatically be on the defense?
