Oh great, she's got another vet visit on Thursday so I'll mention it....I hope that's not what it is!!!!!!!! I had a french mastiff that we had for about 9 years who had operation after operation on her knees, I think a total of 3. We thought we were going to have to have her hips replaced but she died before they got too bad. She was beautiful, smart and very very expensive... |
To think, a mutt could be the least of it.....oh my gosh! So, was she a backyard breeder-Ladymom??? |

Here are a couple of good links: Lawrence County Humane Society Abuse and Adoption Center bbvsrd |
Here's my favorite: Every breed of dog recognized by the AKC has a written standard, a blueprint of what the dog should look like and act like. These standards were written so that all would know what a quality example of the breed is and strive to produce dogs that meet or exceed the standard in health, temperament and appearance. To be sure you are breeding dogs that meet these standards, your dogs must be judged by people who have a lifetime of experience among the breed. Do you know the standard of the Pure Breed Dog? Does your dog meet this standard according to an AKC Judge? If not, your dog is pet quality. A pet is to be loved, cherished, trained, cared for, spoiled and bragged about, but it is NEVER to be bred. No matter how cute or sweet the dog may be, if it is not up to the standard, you have no business breeding it. If you have a purebred dog this does not give you the right to breed it. Most purebred dogs are not breeding quality. If you breed your pet quality dog, you are a backyard breeder, whether you breed the dog in your backyard, garage, living room or an expensive hotel room, the term is still backyard breeder. If your pet quality dog has AKC papers, that's nice but it doesn't change anything. You still don't have the right to breed it. If your pet quality dog cost you $500 be glad you had the money to afford it. You still have no right to breed it. Do you think you can make your $500 back if you breed your pet dog or if your pet dog is a color or size that isn't in the standard but you just know everyone will want buy a pup if you breed her? Shame on you! Now you are a backyard breeder with the purpose of breeding pups for bucks. If the price for a tail dock or an ear crop seem high to you, what are you going to do when your beloved pet needs an emergency C section. Will you even be there with her to know if she is in trouble? Would you recognize trouble before it's too late? And if you still want to breed your pet dog but need to ask who's supposed to cut off the tails and ears, ask yourself "What the Hell am I thinking!" Do you think genetic testing is something they used in the OJ trial but has nothing to do with your dog breeding career? You are a backyard breeder. Backyard breeders sell pups that aren't up to the standard of the breed. ShelterDog Rescue - Are you a BackYard Breeder? |

Nope, I'm not mad. I was just trying to answer what I thought was your question! |
Actually she is probably a red legged yorkie if you look up! red legged yorkies on the site or on the internet there is not much info. But I believe that is what your lovely pup is... apparently these females have been used to bring the color back into some lines:) Hope this helps |

Wow! Where was this woman when I was trying to find a breeder..........found this just now while searching for a redleg yorkie... The puppy coat is very different than the adult coat which will come in. Brush daily to prevent matts. The adult coat will be much "harder" and silkier and is a lot easier to take care of. They might not shed as much as other dogs, but they do shed a little. There is a product that Cowboy Magic makes called Instant Detangler and Shine. A very small amount rubbed into your hands and then rubbed onto the coat removes tangles and matts with ease. It really is a miracle product. I breed Yorkies and keep them all in long coats (no such thing as a short coated Yorkie as one poster mentioned, just a bad coat or a genetic default as in a red-legged Yorkie). If it wasn't for this product, I think I would spend the majority of every day brushing Yorkies! The website is Cowboy Magic - Detangle Your Hair and they have a store locator. It is usually sold at livestock feed supply stores since it is for horse's manes and tails. It is super concentrated so a little goes a long, long way. I also supplement with Omega Fatty Acids, either flax seed oil or fish oil. |

No I was not yelling at you. I was just trying to defend myself. I just sent another lengthy reply about it but it didn't go thru either...I think I have too many windows open. I just wanted to let you know, that I'm not a turd and wouldn't hurt the breed or someone who wanted a yorkie....I spent about $10,000 on my Mastiff so it's not the money....and I never bred my mastiff or thought about it....she was a breed/show quality and I'm not sure if I had breeding rights...which was fine with me, I hadn't thought about breeding any animal at the time....I'm known for really nice looking animals!!!!!!!! Years ago, my cats had there own bedroom....I'm not kidding, it was as big as mine...lol |
