I took this to mean people that buy Yorkie and want to breed it, they go and buy a mate and then breed. Just because 'AMerica is a free country' doesn't give anyone the right to breed carelessly. These are living breathing beings. If people that are so careless about breeding then I tend to think the will be just as careless in when selecting a home for them. Many of those in Shelters or Rescuses are there to be dumped off because their owner wasn't selected carefully. I know some are there for other reasons as well but most of them are there because they were turned over for a buck. So sad!! Some don't look like Yorkies because the breeder was not concerned about breeding to improve on the breed and it shows. I cry everytime I go to the rescue sites. I read all the stories and my eyes fill up with tears. It will be a cold day in H*** before one of my babies ends up in a place like that. Let's try to stay on this topic. We had some really good opinions and insight. The YTCA has nothing to do with this. It boils down to responisibility. I prefer to categorize breeders into 2 groups. Responsible and Irresponsible. Not Show, Hobby, BYB, Puppymill, that's splitting hairs. Irene | |

Please refer to page 4 of this thread and read from someone that has dealt personally with a reproductive specialist. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...4&page=1&pp=15

| ![]() Thanks YTsirk27 for the clarification. YorkieRini~ The reason the YTCA is relevant to the discussion is because the only "standard" that currently exists for the breed is the one set forth by the YTCA. I understand wanting to say on topic but the thread started included that in her first post. I also would prefer to define responsible and irresponsible, but most breeder who agree with the YTCA syandard will assume that anyone who does not s irresponsible which i do not agree with. Here is the quote from the reporductive specialist: Bill Sones and Rich Sones Richmond.com Saturday, October 15, 2005 Q. From a Spokane, Washington reader: Recently I have noticed a lot of media attention given to artificially inseminated mixed-breed dogs. If a very small dog like a teacup poodle is inseminated with a large breed dog like a St. Bernard, would the mother (1) abort (2) have one live birth puppy (3) have her life endangered?" A. Generally not one and three, more likely two which may also include a litter of live births, says animal reproduction specialist Dr. Margaret V. Root Kustritz, University of Minnesota small animal theriogenologist (from the Greek therio = beast, gen = birth, ology = study of). "I get this question all the time. Dogs are plenty driven by urges to breed or be bred regardless of their mismatched sizes so artificial insemination might not even be necessary." Once the female is pregnant, the puppies will grow to the size available to them, so even though it seems counterintuitive, a small female dog can carry pups from a giant breed male dog. Even where there is no size mismatch, says Kustritz, if a female dog has only one pup, it will grow to fill the space, thus becoming larger and more likely to cause dystocia (difficulty whelping) than would pups from a large litter. This is what I was referring to. Even if it is a 6 lb female...if she only produces one pup it will grow to fill the size of the space. Last edited by SoCalyorkiLvr; 12-06-2005 at 09:34 AM. |

I always tell prospective owners to NEVER purchase a pup from someone that will NOT guarantee the dog they are buying, I do not care if it is $500.00 or $3000.00! I also have an open door policy and it is in my 3 page contract.. I do NOT ever want one of my babies in a rescue, shelter or put down because someone no longer wants to take of them! I not only do alittle breeding, show on a small scale, but we also do rescue.. We have 7 rescues in our home right now from people that no longer wanted to remain responsble for them.. I took in a collie in May of 1998 that had been bred until she could no longer carrier a litter, beat and dump on a county road in Howard County! I still have my Holly to this day.. ![]() One last note if you are a breeder and you doing everything right by your dogs and you are a responsible breeder "YOU DO NOT EVER MAKE A PROFIT!".. What little I do have goes to my wonderful vet, Dr. Mohr or back into my dogs! my dogs live in my home, have a very good life and are treated better then my husband, just ask him! ![]() Melanie | |
