Have you spoken with every single person that has Yorkshire terriers in the United States?
They are not a new trend, they have been around for long time. It's just that the show people kept it so hush hush for fear of being found out that their dog threw a mismarked puppy. Sad to say but it does still go on the putting down of these puppies by show breeders. I know it does.
Elle, I understand you believe in the standard but to come on here and verbally abuse people is just wrong in so many ways.
The only thing in this thread that I ask of the YTCA was to just talk to our club about the parti.
BTW are you a member of the YTCA? Don't you have a code of ethics and conduct? | People are not culling. This isn't happening.
Verbally abusive? Have you any understanding of the definition? That's not true. I make blanket statements. You've attacked my club, my standard, myself, my fellow exhibitors, the list goes on. You breed intentionally seeking a faulted dog for profit. This, as you know is a breeding practice strongly opposed not just by me but by who? Okay! So it's not just my opinion.
The code of conduct is what you are referring to. This is public information. You know my membership status. I don't understand how you can say the things you say then act like this with my reply.
Just as other people have said, every thread you get on about this goes this way. Go back, read you posts.
When people say what does an ethical breeder do? One thing that comes to mind is that they breed within the standard. This isn't something I say to be mean, be unfriendly or hurt feelings. Its about the betterment of the breed. If you aren't breeding to the standard then you aren't helping the breed. If you aren't helping it, what your doing? Yep, you're hurting it.
The shelters are full of dogs being put to sleep everyday. Why add to it with any breeding? You aren't doing the breed any justice by breeding any more dogs that aren't within the standard. This is true about everyone that breeds. If you are not breeding within the standard to the betterment of the breed you should not do it. You will also help the dogs that are in shelters; it's a rhetorical effect that will stop the whole cycle. Every breeding should be to obtain confirmation candidates. While they are not all likely, this should be the goal. Adding to this, you are intentionally breeding a faulted dog. A dog that I do not nor have I ever seen in anyone's yorkshire terrier breeding program. I know lots of people in this breed that have been breeding for many years. There isn't any secret.
Maybe not new in your opinion. Didn't the directive mean anything to you? Did you enter them before then? Did the numbers drop after the new DQ? Did you have to pull yours because of this? Nope, so why are we even having this conversation? |
