But then again, I realize that you are so in love with your breeder and blind to what they are really doing that you are probably going to answer yes to all of those and think that is a sign you should breed your new pup if they grow up to be good looking.
I'll let you, and everyone else in on a little secret. I got my Yorkie from my sister who got her from a VERY shady BYB(she bought her in a Walmart parking lot if that tells you anything). Yeah, she has papers and her pedigree contains many champions, but the 3 most recent generations were NOT champions and that is pretty important to take into consideration. If you have a superbowl winning football player, and his son grows up to be a superbowl winning football player and his son after that, but his great grand son has a son that becomes a politician and then that kid has a son who becomes an artist and then that son has a child that becomes a drug addict, are his children going to be superbowl winning football players just because their great great grandparents were? No, they're probably not.
Back to my Yorkie. The shocker to some of you may be that when I first got her, I actually considered breeding her. I was ignorant and uneducated about it and everyone just kept going on about how beautiful and tiny she was and how they would just kill to have one of her puppies. I actually looked into it pretty seriously for about a month before her health issues started. I quickly came to my senses after realizing what a horrible mistake it would have been. Yes, I love her with every ounce of my heart(even though I complain about her a lot), yes, she is a wonderful dog. I had absolutely no business breeding her. Number one, she is a fucking spaz. She is very submissive, but incredibly protective. Despite professional trainers, if you come near me and she doesn't like it, she will try to rip your hand off. Fortunately, she is tiny so it is more comical than painful, but it is still a behavioral problem. I can't allow her any where near babies because she tries to eat them. I socialized her frequently and was very strict in my training and hired professional trainers but at the end of the day she is still a protective spaz. In addition to that, she has multiple health issues. Health issues that she would not have if she were bred by a reputable breeder. I disappointed quite a few friends and family members when I decided to not breed her. Fortunately I had a few friends who supported me and helped educate me so I could learn from that experience and now look how far I've come.
I took that advice and followed my instincts. Had I just said EFF YOU ALL! and done what I wanted, then the world would have 3-4 more spastic ankle biters running around.
You're welcome.
