Highlight No 2: And when did it become acceptable to breed for less than the best outcome, just because some of your litter will go to pet homes? I will say again if you are in the market for a purebred dog, you as the purchaser should demand the best! The best in temperament, health, structure, and quality! The future purebred pet owner is investing in our breed, through the well informed buying decision which ideally will support the best breeders around, and in this way help to insure that the YOrkie we love today, will be better off 10 years down the road, in health, looks, and attitude. The buying public deserves a very good and healthy representative of the breed. They deserve that their puppy comes from health tested breeding stock, with any health concerns of that line, researched and known by the breeder. I think in many ways the buying public is scammed! Oh yes this is a "purebred" Yorkie, but their hair is just curly, they will likely be 15 lbs or so, the coat is coarse and the color is off, and well ya know all dogs have different temperaments, this one is just on the shy side, or hyper, or scatterbrained, or growly, or etc etc etc. Oh yes don't you worry about the vet telling you the pup likely has Grade 2 LP. Oh dear, bladder stones you say? Well lots of dogs around middle age get bladder stones. Oh the vet told you it is genetic....um well gosh I've never had bladder stones in my dogs....their lines, well I've never asked. Is this an elitist view, I proudly say yes. This is what every breed needs. Passionate dedicated, informed, commited, breeders, whose first desire is to leave the breed better than before! We are purebreed fanciers, and as such are dedicated to the preservation and futherance of our specific breed. Finally, who says there should be a Yorkie out there for whosoever wants one?

Huh?? Where'd all that come from??? Just suggested we all work together - amazing what one can learn from bouncing ideas of each other, etc. I would agree, since the majority of shelters, et al, are filled with mutts, one should strive to breed the best of the breed, which would include sharing of ideas, new information as it becomes available, etc.
