You can be extremely smart and still be uneducated about Yorkies.

mimimomo if everyone here can state there opinion so can i so just RELAX

Ahahaha I am very secure I believe these other ladies are as well but you just did what you where saying not to do so in fact you must be insecure too.

The point was you where insulting people to. When in fact maybe you are insecure about your breeding of mixes? Hmmmm gotta love google!

No one with a "really great" purebred would sell a "designer" greeder one their dogs for breeding. No "really great" breeder wants their kennel name attached to such methods. Do you think they work for years to produce a healthy good looking line of dogs just to turn their name and reputation over to greeders? Dogs that are used for "designer" breeding are pet quality. They should never be bred but should be loved and enjoyed in a home that appreciates them for what they are.

Breeding one pet quality purebred to another pet of a different breed does not create hybrid vigor. It only creates a larger poor quality gene pool. It takes constant careful selective breeding to maintain a clean, gene pool.The people who do "designer" breeding are not improving anything. They exploit their animals for one purpose, and it is not the well being of either breed.

Darn, right church, wrong pew.

I'd posted a link for those asking about Teacups on 7/13. Guess it got buried in all the other stuff. ;)

I do understand how if one is called "naïve and un-educated in the same sentence it could seem like an insult. I don't believe my fellow YTers meant it that way. Naïve by itself is not an insult, nor is un-educated, for after all most adults can be both naïve and un-educated about many topics; for example nuclear fusion, GMO's, IPO's, Black holes, etc.

And for many what makes a reputable breeder is not something the public spends much time thinking about.

But it aches my heart if you are supporting a breeder who is advertising purse size Yorkies!. Oh my oh my.

Yorkies are dogs first and foremost. Proud, intelligent, active, confident, territorial, stubborn, sweet and loving, all wrapped up in a 5-7lb package. Well tempered Yorkies don't just think, they know they are 110 lb dogs.

They are not meant to be carried in purses, but meant to be the proud, intelligent, self-sufficient dog they truly are. They were actually bred to be ratters!

The only time I have ever put my Yorkie in a "purse" was a travel bag, when we flew to Oregon and again to NYC.

The only time I ever picked up my Yorkie outside on his walks, when a Rottie came charging will full intent out of the bush. And that even I was forced into doing, as I had my large dog, charge back, and Razzle was all ready to get into the fray and defend his pack!

Yorkies are fierce beasties, and should be treated with outmost respect. Not relegated to some-ones purse!!!

:thumbup::thumbup:

There is a world of difference between stating opinion and representing it as fact.

Nor to a cage piled 6 high full of other Yorkies being bred like machines, dying alone and afraid as they give birth to your teacup yorkie...

Thank you Gail....

Beautifully said! :thumbup::love:

This is so very extremely right!

i could see how this can be an ego booster to most of all of.,,if i program myself to think talk like you all then ill :bravo:

No thanks needed Lynzy. And no dog of any breed should be bred that way and die alone, unloved, un-cared for! I just can not bear that image. And for suffering my mind pulls up quite easily from words images very horrific.

I can not bear the fact that humans perpetuate this type of misery for the God almighty dollar. I can't understand that the human populance willy nilly supports these "breeders".

I looked at that puppy mill new list --- I was crying before the fourth page.
