I feel the same way, I hope my posts don't sound so judgmental and bossy, but after having gone through the experience of owning a really sickly dog and watching it deteriorate and there was nothing I could do for him. The vet looked at me with a tear in his eye and said, “damn backyard breeders", that moment changed my life. I was thrilled to find Yorkietalk and learn how to avoid lousy breeders. I’m thrilled, I have found a breeder who breeds for the betterment of the breed. Some people think it’s because we just want some beautiful dog, but for me, it was health reasons, and I believe you increase your chances of getting a healthy dog if you go to a great breeder. Anyway, I understand where you’re coming from and I think all dogs are equal, but I don’t believe all breeders are equal. |
