"Designer" blue born Yorkshire Terriers :-(

[pstinard]

While looking for some photos of blue born Yorkies, I came across this website that is advertising blue borns as "designer" Yorkies. The photos are instructional, but I'm in shock that someone would sell them as premium designer dogs .

Oh, my... Absolutely speechless...

This is so sad!!
I feel for the people buying this "designer dogs"!
I really hope they inform theirselfs good before purchasing from such a greeder!
It makes me sad to watch the puppies and the 'parents'.
The yorkie mom is 3.5 lbs!

Well this just topped off my day.....just sad, not shocking, just sad....let me reiterate that people really do suc....through and through, half a brain and 0 conscience sums it all up....

Wow this is just horrible. Rather than say what I think, I'll just sign off and get ready for bed. (Sigh)

[Lap Princess]

I don´t mean to be rude, but the pups on that site arent the prettiest specimens of the breed that I´ve ever seen..those blue pups look odd to me.Would people really buy them even though they look sick?
First of all, the coat looks all wrong, and I don´t mean just the colour, but the length and texture alone would put me off right away, the flash of the camera is bouncing off of it, and it still doesnt have an ounce of shine at all, it´s the dullest coat on a puppy that I´ve ever seen.
Then they eyes look wrong too, it looks like they are drooping down to the side instead of the front and the shape of the head...I don´t know, I just don´t think anyone can look at those blue pups and think "oh yes, I´m going to spend top dollar on that puppy".

I mean, if this is the best they have (anyone wanting to sell a "product" online will only use the best pics) then what do the rest of them look like? I totally understand that accidents can happen and that blue pups will continue to pop up every now and again and they deserve loving homes, but to breed them on purpose seems crazy to me.
As a rule, what first draws people to the yorkshire terrier is their beautiful coat, the main thing they are famous for, so why would anyone want to breed puppies who´s coats are going to be awful right off the bat?? (and that´s just the tip of the iceberg!) I do not get it.

This is horrible. This whole site irritates the heck out of me. The pups look like they are not taken care of at all plus they have the look of having hydrocephalus. Then there is the writeup they have about only breeding to the standard and going for everything else except looks when they breed. Not one of the dogs shown on there is to the standard of their given breeds. Not to mention mixing the breeds. Shame on the owner of this site.

All I have to say is it makes me physically ill.

I see nothing but sadness in their eyes. It breaks my heart because those humans are just in it for money. I have to stop my imagination from running rampant about their living conditions. I literally feel sick.

When will people realize that "variety" is a bad thing in breeding purebreds, the whole idea of a purebred is a predictable look and behavior. We can't help these horrible breeders, but we can help education the buyer, please stay away from breeders who don't understand what "standard" means and the reasons for it. This particular breeder really wins the prize, and has hit a new low.

Exactly!
I don´t understand why anyone would want to purposely produce off standard yorkies, and the first thing ruined by doing this is the one thing that yorkies are actually famous for...their coats.Then there´s everything else you don´t see (health issues etc etc).

The same goes for the greeders who purposely produce "teacup yorkies". They go out of their way to produce bulging eyed, big headed yorkies who´s tounges don´t even fit in their heads, they throw the words "teacup" and "baby doll face" around a few times, and people throw their money at them because they fit in cute little designer totes that go with their shoes
