| im sorry your girl uni has a health problem, but dixie does not have any health problems, she has been checked out, so has the daddy. yeah if there is a problem with one of the pups, YES i am prepared to take care of it. theres always risks, i dont care how healthy the dog is, or if it a "champion show dog" , there is ALWAYS a risk, thats a risk EVERYONE takes when breeding. same as with children, look around, theres all kinds of cancers, swine flu, ect. ect. but me and my late wife (may she rest in peace!!!) still had our son. i hope you understand where im coming from and im not trying to be hatefull. |

| carried away I have been following this. Come on everybody. When is enough going to be enough??? The OP came on here with questions and KEEPS getting BASHED over and over again. I am sure I seen apologies. It is scarry to even ask for info it it always turns into a different subject (bashin) I would rather try to educate a person and HELP them as much as I can. How would everybody feel IF this poster has a question reguarding the health of mom or babies BUT won't ask on here again because of the nonsense that don't quit???? We may not all agree on how everybody does things but lets be friendly. Enough is enough already! |

| LP is a genetic disorder, not a health problem. It does not impede in her day to day living, as liver shunt or pancreatitis would (managing their daily diet for the rest of their lives). LP is luxating patella, and a large percentage of toy breeds have it, not just yorkies, and it ranges from grade 1 to 4, 4 being the worst. It is when the knee caps (patellas) get out of socket due to the groove not being deep enough to hold it in place. Over time it can cause arthritis and pain. But, I agree with you to some extent, every breeding there is some risk, but the more you know of your dog and it's pedigree, the LESS risk you have in breeding them. The breeder I got Uni from you can call her a borderline byb as I would call you as well. I don't know anything about her grand parents, great grandparents, etc. But what I'm saying is, if you don't know if your dogs are close to standard, why breed them other than the fact of just breeding b/c your mommy pup is beautiful? And please don't compare children to puppies. As much as I love dogs, and treat them like family, we all know they are not the same as human beings, just look at our laws. Many animal abusers and millers only get charged with misdemeanors IF that. (Not saying you are an abuser, but just bringing up a point.) Many children are brought into this world that do not have homes. Absolutely tragic, but so many families still want to have their own kids instead of adopting. (Not to mention to adopt a human child is about $40,000 IF you are approved) Same with rescues, sometimes it is hard to get approved. Then it is a bit of a high price to adopt, so many people just go the byb route. Sad all around.

It is no secret we are a passionate group. If there was no one to speak up about irresponsible breeding of our beloved OVERBRED yorkies, what is to happen to this breed in 50 years? 100 years? Yorkies today have such a varied look to them as it is. We need to spread the word that there are irreputable breeders out there trying to make a fast buck. How many times have you been asked what breed your dog is? Is it a teacup? Is it a mini? Even, is it a silky? The uneducated public out there just doesnt know, and a lot of them come on here. The more people that we educate, the better. My statements on the yorkie breed are not opinion, they are FACT. You cannot argue with fact.

| I guess I am not expressing myself effectively. 99% (my guess) of dogs out there are to fill the pet market, ie people who don't care about showing. But, little do we know (yes me included) that shower/exhibitors were the ones who sold their pups who were only "pet quality" to the public, the ones who they thought would not make it into the ring. Yet so many people wanted these dogs that so called "breeders" started popping up eveywhere, to fill the "pet quality" market. Today, so many people want pet quality, that they buy from anyone, thinking they don't want to show, so who cares about papers? Well, it's not just if you have AKC papers that you can show. It's much more than that. Is your dog even up to the standard? Dogs that are not up to standard should not be bred, period. Including my dear Uni who I think is the most beautiful dog in the world, despite her faults.

I know that in your eyes, your girl is the most perfect dog there is. We ALL feel that way about our dogs. But does that mean that every dog *should* be bred....hmmm, no, IMO. I'll be honest with why people have taken such an "issue" with your situtation, but please, realize that I am only laying it out there so that you aren't sitting back wondering what you did wrong...don't shoot the messenger, as they say! You joined a short time ago an immediately began asking very BASIC question regarding aspects of breeding. You stated that you weren't even sure if you wanted to breed, and that if you did it would be "for the experience." (Who's experience? Yours? Your dog's?) In the opinions of many, NOT a good reason to breed. A very short time after you joined, undecided on if you even wanted to breed, you did and then continued to ask what many consider to be very basic questions regarding breeding--issues that most feel one should be very well familiar with BEFORE breeding. It comes across as if you are breeding without any real preparation or knowledge regarding the overall breeding process. You have renounced your regard for the breed standard, which most feel is very important. You have bred a dog that you got from a backyard breeder. You started offering the dogs for sale when they were less than 24 hrs old. Basically, in a nutshell, your views on breeding just differ from those of the majority of the members here. Yes, it is your dog and you have the right to do as you please with your dog and not heed the suggestions and advice of others here, as you have done. But understand that members here also have the right to post up disagreeing with your actions that you have chosen to make public knowledge, as they have done. LOL...I guess it's a good thing that your take is "who cares what everyone else's opinion is?" | |||

Some people believe that only show breeders should be allowed to breed, so the rest of us don't "ruin" the breed with our second rate dogs. I believe health comes first, then temperament, then looks. | |
