However when a dog gets older they not only are tired ready to retire but need to retire where they can be fully focused on being the center of attention. This is why retired "breeders" are petted out any good breeder doing this will be often be harsh in who they allow to adopt their previous show dog-going as far as having very strict adoption contracts sting what the dog is allowed to be fed, weather or not they will allow the dog to be vaccinated, the type of training allowed & expected, the accommodations afforded to the dog oh and a requirement of continual contact. etc etc etc. This is how it was explained to me (by a mini. schnauzer breeder) she however doesn't charge an adoption rehoming fee you must give her a medical deposit and that fund proves you can afford any needed care you draw from it and show proof of the care provided. The way she does it takes more of her time than if she just sold off her dog-it's not about effort it's about the dog getting the best retirement as she is still busy showing other up & comers.

I wanted a beautiful girl who was being retired-but at that time I wasn't sure I could accommodate a dog that would not only be fed a RAW only diet but foremost would not be allowed any vaccines-the only change the breeder would allow was the female being altered. Later I got a rescue and was more open-that breeder will only allow her retirees to be the only dog in the home as she insists they are absolutely pampered in retirement.

Again, to me the same kind of hypocrisy. The breeder expects you to have such a strong connection to the dog that you could never rehome, but they can. Quote:

I could buy a puppy from her-limited registration spay/neuter contract the only requirements from her thus feed it whatever I wanted, vaccinate how I please-this pup would not have been show or breeding quality, not come to me fully trained. I was looking at a retired championed female 4 almost 5 years old.

| As I was driving around today, I was trying to view this from a different perspective - I was thinking that maybe I was attributing a role to the "SHOW" breeder, that was not fitting. Maybe their "larger" goal - betterment of the breed - is not about "attachment" to any one dog. It takes different personalities to fulfill different roles. Maybe they fulfill their role, and then people that get more "attached" - apparently some of us on this thread, come in and fulfill the much needed role, of buying and loving the puppies that can't make the "show" cut, and the champs that need a home in retirement..........We all are so different. It hit me today, that maybe I was wanting them to be like me. Last edited by betterthanlife; 12-06-2011 at 11:12 PM. |

I can understand why some breeders rehome some of thier retired Yorkies though. Many of those that I know have multiple Yorkies and when an older Yorkie is retired many times they (the breeders) are just wanting the older dog to have a lap of thier own where they will get the attention they deserve without having to compete for attention. I wish you all the luck there is in finding your little girl. But, please understand that finding a little girl might be a hard thing to do since many show breeders will want to keep the females themselves. The right baby will come along you just need to keep looking.

My Willow we adopted last November, was a breeder/retired and her breeder turned over to a rescue group to find a good home for her. I adopted her. She is the most sweet loving little girl.

| I don't have any experience with breeders, I only adopt from shelters or rescues, but I liked what that one person said about your perfect dog finding you when it was meant to be. I wasn't really looking for a dog, I came across Dallas on a shelter website and before I knew it I was owned by a yorkie. It will happen, keep your chin up! |
