debarking is cruel no matter which way you slice it. i compare it to declawing. both are not necessary procedures. neither lengthen the pets lives or helps prevent disease (like S/N does). both of these procedures are usually done to appease the owner. dog doesn't shup up - debark it. cat claw furniture - declaw it. not nice in either case. why get an animal if you are going to do something like this to it. dogs bark, cats claw. its natural. you can train them not to do either of these things, i dont' care what that first sight posted said. i wasn't going to say anything about your reasons for selling but since it was brought up, i don't see how you can sell your favorite girl. And your selling her as a 'good producer' and a ' valuable breeding dog'. just doesn't seem right. she's already been rehomed once. why not spay her and keep her? or spay her and find her a new home? |

I'm sorry. I posted very mild a bit ago but I'm really bothered by this and need to just say it as I meant it. It's clear that this girl was just a $$ to everyone she's been in contact with. She no longer fits into your plans? She's been debarked - not by you though by her previous owner? She was however been your best house dog and of course your best producer. Oh and let's not forget she can stand to go on a diet. Valuable breeding dog. I think that says it all. So sad. So very sad and I really hope that someone here takes her, has her spayed and shows her how to just be someone's loved and cherished pet. Elaine |
I know where Pinehaven is coming from. As breeders, we cant keep them all. The house would be over-run by Yorkies and eventually, none of them would be treated correctly. I have placed two of my "older" girls after they were spayed. They didnt produce the qualities I was looking for. Both were still young,(4 and 5) and got very loving homes. I get frequent up-dates.Please dont get me wrong as this wasnt an easy decision, but it was best for the girls. |
And you know what really aggrevates me even more is the fact that you advertise her as being debarked as if it's a perk. You've got to be kidding me. E. |

I understand breeders do this but would you sell your UNSPAYED girl for 1500 dollars and list them as a potential breeding dog? |
No, absolutely not. I dont want any of my girls to fall into the puppymill/byb arena. I only want loving family homes for them. |

And why start to breed for wrong colour? Odd. |

Thank you - it's too bad that so many are blind and deaf when it comes to genetics - they don't want to see and they don't want to hear. |

Chocolate, gold (running gold so much into the blue it looks gold) are carried in the genes of the YOrkie. They are wrong colour however and as such, not something that should be endeavoured to breed for. Breed standards for the purebreds exist for a reason regardless of the breed you are talking about. Some colours are not acceptable in some breeds although they may genetically carry the colour. It isn't a new concept. IMO, breeding for the 'rare' and wrong colours ran rampant when it was discovered much higher prices would be paid for producing wrong colours. It isn't for the betterment of the breed, it is for the filling of the pocket book and also because the world of the purebred dog and the breed standards concept is not understood by those that perpetuate dogs that are not being bred towards the standards. Argue all you wish, that is my opinion and hopefully, others will think about it if nothing else. |
I dont think that anybody is "blind and deaf" to genetics. Most breeders follow the standard and dont want it changed. |
I think everyone's is wasting their breath posting about right or wrong. This woman is after one thing and one thing only. The almighty dollar. She's already defended debarking by inserting a link to a site that defends it. She's already made it clear that this girl is a potential money maker because after all she's been her best producer. She has no concern that "Her Favorite" girl will end up in the hands of a puppymill or byb. This is obvious in her advertising her as a good producer. If this is her favorite I'd certainly hate to see her least favorite. Just my .02 and if this post is not acceptable sorry but I'm so fed up with people. E. |

I don't know how many litters this girl has had, but I'd love to see her retired and no longer have to "produce". |

Not that it makes any difference really, except I do understand my breeding program and have a good grasp of understanding about breed standards and some of the issues behind them. Colour issues in dogs is not a pure and simple thing. There are many factors to consider with wrong colours other than merely considering being off on a tangent from a breed standard in regard to colour. |

And I guess we all learned what is looks and sounds like for a breeder to not have the best interest of the dog at heart. |
Shes a beautiful girl, I hope she finds her forever loving home, It just breaks my heart that some one debarked her , Thats just cruel . |

Off colors have been appearing in the breed since the beginning of the breed and they continue to be showing up in all the time, coming from many different lines. This breed was started by many different breeds of dogs. Dogs with no pedigrees or traceable bloodlines, dogs who ran freely and did what they wanted to do with whatever dog they wanted to do it with. And if people can't understand WHY or WHERE these recessive genes came from in our dogs, than I really feel sorry for them. My Parti yorkies are PUREBRED, AKC registered and DNA'd and just because your (general your) dogs look blue and tan doesn't mean that they are not carrying recessive genes for producing off colors when bred to another carrier - it just means that the genes are hidden in that dog (for the time being). Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. As for standards, we've seen standards change over the years and I'm sure they'll continue to change in the future. |
This was supposed to be just a nice little classified post ... Thank you to those who had kind words about Tasha, she is a very sweet girl and she has found a home close to me, with someone I know, where I can keep in touch and visit. I realize and respect others opinions and I've seen a lot of nastiness in some of the forums but it's a shame to see so many negative, misconstrewed and twisted replies in the YT classified forum. There are some who apparently have to judge, complain, find fault and attack everything - when actually, the only ones they should worry about, find fault with and judge is themselves. Good night. |

There apparently is a legend, First Nations legend I have been told, that at Heaven's Gate are the dogs that have gone before us that while they were on earth had been in the charge of the now departed . Depending on how the dog was treated by its master on earth will determine if the dog will allow the departed into Heaven. Nice legend, wish it were true. Maybe it is. |

i love how the only comments you made once people started questioning your reasons for selling her were about her color. what about your comments about her being your 'best producer' and why you think debarking is ok? i was more concerned over the well being of the dog, then the color, but you chose to ignore those questions. glad she found a home. she is beautiful. she is also a dog and a pet, not a producer and i hope her new home see's her as a beautiful new pet....not $$$$ |
I wasn't going to post either but you all know how I can get. The only thing I will say is I felt such pain for this beautiful girl and the ridiculous price of a 3 yr old girl being bounced around all over the place and placed with the highest bidder to spend her life having one litter after another. My girls are spayed when they leave me , IF they leave me. |
