Although I'd love to live in a house full of Yorkies and puppies I'd never breed. I became friends with my breeder before getting a dog from her and she told me all she goes through and the risks involved. | Quote:

Everyones entitled to their opinion, and I understand there are a lot of people who feel the same way you and the rainbow person feel. It's not how she feels that was the problem. It was her attitude and the way she came across as "holier than thou" , as if she's never made a mistake. I know that there are a lot of people here who disagree with breeding except by professional and experienced breeders. It's sad when breeders feel they can't post about their litters because of the fallout and opinions of others on this site, and a lot of the breeders, who can help and give information are being run off.
Not that it changes anything but even breeders listed on the AKC site aren't always on the up and up-that's actually where I found the breeder where I got Allie and Noah from! On the surface, she appeared to be a good breeder, and then I found this site and all these red flags popped up, starting with her letting a 7 week old puppy go. After Noah got parvo, she became unreachable, even though she swore I had a "breeder" for life and could come to her with anything. I didn't know 3 years ago what I know now, and would never buy from a breeder like that again. I got Westley from a reputable breeder right here on yorkietalk, although she doesn't post much.
And for the record, Allie has been spayed. |
