[QUOTE=Dreamer74;2145743]Also if someone asks you (a breeder) about breeding rights you should not make an assumption about that person, if for no other reason than you are breeding them yourself so a person could assume the same thing about you. QUOTE]

I agree, I asked Lucie's breeder a lot of different questions, and it was more of a way for me to ensure that she was a good breeder. I had found her online, and wasn't going to be able to see the litter right away, so I wanted to make sure I was going to be dealing with someone who was honest and everything.
Though breeding rights wasn't one of my topics for questioning...She could have assumed from some of my questions that I didn't know a lot about Yorkies which wouldn't have been true..

I find this topic very interesting and potentially explosive as to the philosophies of dog owners.

I am glad this thread is being continued as it does raise some very good questions and concerns from breeders versus primary pet owners.

I do agree that the health of the dog is the first and foremost priority. My experience with another breed (over the past 21 years) showed me that it was not always the case. Sometimes some of the health problems (genetically) are from even the most responsible breeders.

I just don't want to see too many fingers pointed at BYBs. I also do not want to see those fingers pointed at the responsible breeders.

Thanks for providing an outlet to talk about issues - even the delicate ones like this. :)

I agree having posts like this is very important, I just hope people remeber it is all personal opinion. I would hate for someone to be offended.

Sometimes I think people try too hard to be liked. It is o.k. for people to disagree with you. That is what debate and knowledge is all about. I've learned to risk being "not liked " when I tell people it is too hot to have a black dog in a pick up at 90 degrees or a dog on a chain with no shade or a breeder that encourages you to breed without health combination issues discussed. We are the protectors of our dear furry friends and I don't hesitate to say something to a parent taking a youngster to Batman movie either. (Very scary movie for pre-teens and younger). Maybe sometimes we can "shame" people into recognizing how precious life in your hands is. Sure it risks being told to "mind your own business" but that's worth it.

Okay I was kinda wondering this myself... how much is protecting the breed,and how much is fearing more competition.. I mean, with the inet now and so forth, people can buy a puppy from all over the world and have it shipped to them. So if there's a breeder in your town,but the one on the inet is cheaper even with shipment, which would you choose? I'm sure this makes it hard for the breeders to sell with so much competition and yes there are a lot of scary breeders out there I have to agree.

So I have a question for breeders here....
1. How has the ability to advertise on the Inet and ship puppies hurt you?

Leo will be fixed, I can't let him breed.. I would wan to keep all the puppies.

You have brought up a very interesting point and something I have always been concerned about--I can't fathom why anyone would buy a dog over the internet, sight unseen...but that's just me.
I don't think that alot of your breeders are hurt by this or that they care. Many are not in a 'competition' to sell--I guess maybe if you are counting on profiting off puppy sales then it would be detrimental to business... Many breeders have a waiting list for pup before they even breed and don't advertise at all. (I would bet many of these are the people who probably DO enforce restricting the breeding rights of their pups too!) Just my .02 on that.

It has my curiosity up, I mean I know people do a lot of research on the inet,and I know that when you find a breeder they may have a web page as well. It makes me wonder how many people would rather pay less on the inet then pay more at a breeder right there near them? Leo was purchased from a breeder two hours away. But I know a lot of others that have had their puppies shipped to them.

What is your preferred method? Do you ship your puppies at all? Or do you only sell to those that will drive up to get them? Many of the breeders I talked to when getting Scott's lab (had to be a good dog as it is his service dog) said they ship puppies a lot via plane!

Sure, many WILL educate themselves and do right by the dog...but what about those who don't? How else can a breeder protect the dog and the breed in general?

I respect your opinion as I do everyone's, but I have to agree with Pat on this one. If you spend decades perfecting your lines, all it takes is one breeding of a good dog to a poor one to produce a bad representation with who knows what genetic defects...and the 30+ year dedicated breeders name is stuck to that for all eternity.
then when this person started breeding how was it that they got their good name??? Did they not have to buy from a "perfect" breeder who was afraid of selling their breeding rights? And yes I think that some of it is about the money otherwise people would not be trying to sell the babies for thousands of dollars!!!!

At this point I have not had to consider the option of shipping a puppy--I've essitially had parties interested before breeding. Had one guy a while back I had to find a home for. But I'm not a high volume breeder. Simply put, I want to meet the new owners. I want them to be involved enough that they want to meet me, that they want to meet and bond with the dog, that they want to see the parents, the conditions the dogs are kept in. If those things don't interest them, then no thanks. Now that being said....I can think of exceptions...a breeder or person I feel I know well, who knows me, etc. But other than that, probably not. If someone can get one "cheaper" online, go ahead, I won't lose sleep over it. I'm not intersted in trying to 'underbid' someone else. I'll keep them all for myself!

I agree though...it's an interesting point to ponder.

I have not shipped puppies and I am not inclined to. I sold one from my first litter to a wonderful owner several states away and she flew in to meet us at a show (we have a motorhome, we don't take babies into the show buildings) to pick her up. Other than that they have driven to us, sometimes several hours, or we have met them somewhere. The price of airfare and the fee for a pet to fly in cabin are not too much more expensive than shipping the dog itself. That said, I did have a dog shipped to me from Sweden. She has never been a good traveler which I think is an effect from that long, scary flight, and were I to buy a dog from overseas again I would fly over myself to escort the dog/puppy home. Live and learn.

If price is the criteria for purchasing...I don't see how one could possibly be purchased on line and shipped cheaper than locally... perhaps it's a regional matter. If I were shopping by price...there are AKC yorkies in our newspaper every day starting at $600. In order to beat that price...I'd have to find someone offering puppies at $300 because shipping is around 300 bucks.

Price is the least of my criteria...I did, however, look on line to find biewer breeders located within driving distance from me.

I dont think that most reputable breeders, or as you say "perfect" breeders are worried about competition(except in the show ring!LOL) or loss of sales as that is not the reason they are breeding. Most of us already have waiting lists of people that are wanting a puppy and they dont mind waiting for a great quality pup. Most of the, as you say, "perfect" breeders got their start by having a mentor first, studying, researching, learning about the breed before ever breeding a litter. Then they start with excellent quality dogs and go from there. Most of the quality dogs that they start with are co-owned by the breeder/mentor.

hehe I know the keeping them for myself thing. I met with my breeder, and I wanted to see where he was coming from, did all those things. But I do know a few ladies at the firm I work for and in class that have purchased their dogs by the inet. So it made me wonder just how many buy from the breeders online, rather then finding someone local or close to purchase. I wonder this in many things though,with things so easily found online. I understand your points very well,but am curious by nature. That's a good thing. lol I think of Leo as my baby,and would want to know that if I were breeding that my babies were going to the right homes and would stay in touch with them. I think that above all is what would make me comfy with a breeder,do they care about their puppies after they have gone to new homes.
