If you are going to use facts in an argument, you need to make sure they are accurate.

I'm just sitting here trying not to crack up laughing because of all this "responsible breeder talk". Look people, I'm not stupid and I'm not irresponsible. You can all think that if you want to but I personally don't care either way. And as for responsible breeding, is there such a thing? I mean, sure you can spay and neuter your pets before they go to a new home but does that make you responsible? Does holding your female and making her get bred make you responsible? Does helping your little guy get the job done because he's so small make you responsible? We all know the smaller the better, right? How is it responsible to breed a 3 or 4 lb dog to begin with? How is it responsible to even breed at all? I'm sick of everyone saying they breed for the "betterment" of the breed. If that was the case, wouldn't you keep one of the pups? I'm not saying some of you don't do this, but I think alot of this talk is BS. I just looked through the whole list of pups for sale on here and rarely did I see anything about a spay/neuter contract. Face it, lots of you breed for money and you can say you don't all day long but you do! I'm not pointing fingers at any one imparticular, but look at all of the pups for sale on YT alone! Those were all bred for the "betterment of the breed?" BS, I say!!! This conversation started as one thing and it turned into another. It's quite ridiculous and besides that, what is really ridiculous, is how some of you are sitting here acting like you are the queen yorkie parent/breeder and you do no wrong. Who are you to judge me? I said everyones entitled to their opinion, and yes, maybe I did make a mistake, but you don't have to be so hateful. I refuse to even associate myself with people like you. So I hope you're happy that you got to take your frustrations out on me for the day. And as far as me leaving, I've decided to stay. I'm better than that... Have a nice day!

I understand that alot of people are irresponsible breeders and toy breeds need more attention when breed and alot of people are equipt to handle it. However, I think that a breeder getting extra money off breeding rights or even having such control over what "Bob" does with his dog it not correct. It is "his" dog, and I think the responsiblity of breeding it or not should be left in the hands of the person who owns the animal. I do agree however that most dogs should be pet only and so on, but it is not you the breeders right to decide who can do what with their dog, more-so when you charge the price of a used car for the dog!! Yorkies very expensive dogs, and the prices that breeders charge for them is part of what fuels people to breed their dogs " to get their money back" or whatever else. I understand both sides but I think breeders should not have the right to control who breeds and who doesn't and why do they need to charge an extra fee for breeding?

And being that I've had my rat a poo since he was a tiny pup I felt it was only right to rehome the male yorkie. I only had the male yorkie for 4 months and he was 1 1/2 yrs old or so when I got him. When I got him he wasn't fixed either. So think whatever you want to. Had he been mine as a pup, he woudln't have left my house unaltered. But, as I said, he was a rescue dog. The only reason I charged a rehoming fee for him was because I wasn't about to give him away..who knows where he would have ended up. :rolleyes: Anyone would take a free dog.. Epsecially a yorkie.

My dogs have had better lives than a lot of people that wait until they are older to get them. and for Cj or whatever, I also have a german shepherd, I got her at 7 weeks, she is one of the best shepherds I've ever known, would never bite anyone unless they were hurting me or hubby
