And yes there is puppymillers out there, I'm not one of them even tho I wouldn't buy on a spay/neuter contract. I have two pet dogs both males, a poodle and a yorkie. But who knows maybe one of these days I may want to breed them to someones female.
I haven't bred tigger yet he's 6 years old and I'm thinking about having him neutered after the first of the year, but its my choice and not one someone has forced upon me.
If I had a female and was breeding her, I would ask for references of anyone buying my pups and one of those references would have to be from a vet, I think that discourages alot of puppymillers buying from good breeders, so they get their pups from other sources, some people will sell to anyone.
I actually owned Tiggers (my poodle) mom and yes I did breed her and she had some gorgeous puppys. I never had the chance to actually sell any pups as they were all given to family and friends and we kept Tigger for ourselves.
And now that his mom has passed on I'm so happy that we did decide to breed her as we still have a part of her with us.
His siblings are all in loving homes with familys who love them.
Yes I was out money myself from the shots and docks but thats ok, cause I know my babies are in good homes, and that was what mattered to me. | They are trying to make some extra cash off a dog that is only pet quality. Reputable breeders wouldn't do that.
A breeder that cares about the breed standard and realizes their dog is "flawed" would probably not sell the puppy with the right to breed.
This is probably why there are so many different "looks" for Yorkies. Breeding "flawed" pets.
How many friends did I make with that comment? :eek:
hey, my dog is flawed too!
I found this the other day at YTC site. It's kind of interesting. http://www.ytca.org/education1.html |
