| I found your post to be :( offensive and I just wanted to say it hurt my feelings!! :( but to address what your concern...
The lady I got her from is NOT a back yard breeder. She does have a kennel and has been breeding Yorkies and only Yorkies for over 25 years. They love all their Yorkies!!! I also got my Trini & Coco from this family...My Trini & Coco came to me 100% healthy and passed all their bloodwork and tests that we did at the Vet's office.
Gracie did come to me with an infection of her Trachea, which cleared up in a few weeks after I got her the correct medicine and she is perfectly healthy now. They did think she had Kennel Cough and they did give her the incorrect dose of antibiotics and that is why I would not recommend them in the future. They also did give her all her vaccinations about 1 week early and did not "skip" any. It was a mess in the beginning!
However, I do not see the impact of the past breeder's practice of giving vaccinations and medication, completely according to directions provided by the makers, a reason for her not to be bred. Yes, I do not agree with it and would not do the same with my puppies but that is the way she does her vaccinations and it does not affect the quality of Yorkie Gracie is. I bought her as a breeding/show quality, AKC Female. She is turning out to be a wonderfully tempered, beautiful Yorkie, as I was promised. I will be doing all the normal bloodwork and testing on her before I breed her, as everyone should do.
Yes, she is cute! But that is NOT why I want to breed her. I am very responsible and Gracie has every potential as I see it now to be a wonderful breeding female. If that changes, she will not be bred!
I also wanted to add, just because a breeders home catches something, it does not make them a bad or "back yard" breeder. Any potential buyer could come in and be a carrier if a disease or virus just from walking outside or a breeder can bring things in from taking their pups to the vet's to be checked... |
