I'm sorry, but AKC papers mean NOTHING to me..I had an akc registerd pom..was it a real pom??? NO! Don't think there aren't dishonest people out there registering with AKC...it happens! Then when I got ahold of akc, and sent them pictures of this so called pom, hummm, they lost the pictures.. this is what dna testing is going to prove..and I think a lot of breeders, that have sold akc, ckc, or whatever else they're registered with, are going to find themselves in some trouble.. |
What bloodlines were used to establish the Yorkshire Terrier is subject to much speculation, due to the fact that the breeders of these dogs did not write down who was bred to whom. If they liked the spirit and looks of the dogs, they mated them. It was chancey at best. It is guessed that the Yorkshire county miners crossed the Black and Tan English Terrier, this dog was rough-coated, and the long-coated, blue-gray Waterside Terrier breeds were infused in the Scottish Terriers. The Maltese and Skye Terrier are also possibilities. I agree, no dog is pure bred, they were crossed with other breeds to get what breed they wanted. |
Not to be off subject but IMO it would be better if there was more mixing and less pure breeding...pure pred dogs have so many genetic defects it's ridiculous and my pure bred yorkie has had so many health problems! I love her to death but can't help but think that she would be so much better if she had a little maltese or poodle or whatever in her! Healthy dogs are so much more important to me than a "pure" one. (I understand the issue with the unethicality though and that's wrong/dishonest but if they were never mixed would the breed survive ultimately anyway? Haven't yorkie's been bred down from what they were originally?) |

No, it is not fact, it's an opinion.:rolleyes: And let me assure you, I am fully aware of what recessive and dominant are. ;) I didn't study genetics and take cellular and reproductive biology for nothing. :P Comparing the health of your own dogs does provide enough info for you to claim that to be a 'fact.' Are there additional sources of your claim? I would suggest reading 'Contol of Canine Genetic Diseases' by Dr. George Padgett who has done lots of extensive research on the subject. IMO, it is like the bible for any breeder striving to produce healthy generations. There are some very eye opening, FACTS that are explained. The offspring of cross bred dogs ARE capable of contracting the same diseases. In addition, there is conclusive evidence that there are additional conditions (try 102) likely to occur in the offspring of cross bred dogs that are not prevalent in purebreds. So I guess technically, it doesn't double the risk, it triples it. |

Too bad breeders weren't more concerned with health issues than with breed standards, if that were the case and the majority of breeders actually were more concerned about the health of their 'purebreds' than acheiving some 'standard' or 'smaller size' of the breed, then we would have healthier, if sub-standard yorkies. And if breeders know there is a genetic problem in the family of their akc dog, why are they breeding them and why is it allowed? |

And I'm sure toys are more likely to contract one as the current demand for toy dogs is causing them to be mass produced by people who don't really give a crap. |

I never got a copy of Dakotas papers, and I still paid 850 for her. |
