Finding a Responsible Shorkie Breeder

Myths and Facts

So your dreams are becoming a reality!! You have decided you want a Shorkie puppy. You think you know just what you want in a shorkie puppy right???. But do you? Please consider before you adopt if you have chosen a truly good Shorkie breeder. You deserve nothing less than a happy, healthy, wonderful Shorkie puppy! You'll be living with your new fur baby for many years to come so it is of the utmost importance you choose carefully!

Genetic Testing and Health

#1 Thing to look for in a breeder! HONESTY!

The Shorkie Club Of America Does Not Support The Hybrid Vigor Theory That Says Purebred Dogs Are Not As healthy As Mix Breeds! That is jsut offensive to teh years and years of purebred breeders that have spent years and years perfecting a breed by genetic testing and impeccable breeding practices!

A well bred puppy is exaclty that! A well bred puppy that comes from gentically tested sound parents.

A "Health Certificate" from a veterinarian is NOT Health testing.

It is only a piece of paper the vet signs after taking the pup's temperature and looking for obvious signs of disease stating he examined the dog and it appears to be free of disease at the time of examination. These health certificates are required by air lines before they will allow your pet on the plane, but some breeders try and represent this paper as proof your dog was health tested by a veterinarian. This certificate has nothing to do with health testing to find a congenital condition that may show up months after you have your pet.

Qualtiy Shorkie Breeders

Will give the intended puppy parents a full review of the breed, including drawbacks of the perspective breed first, such as potential health problems and will never ever tell you that there re no health problems in the breed. Will give historical information of how the breed was originally developed and especially indicating the breed temperamental "quirks" and if that temperament is suitable for the prospective family and their lifestyle. Responsible breeders do this so the puppy does not end up abandoned in a shelter because the buyer did not understand breed specific behavior and got the puppy because it was "cute" not knowing what its character would be like when grown.Shorkies are indeed excellent pets. But they may not be suitable for every family.

Many potential puppy parents just fall in love with the furry faces and dont realize what health risks shorkies are at risk for. make sure your shorkie breeder is open and honest abotu the Shorkie breed and does not hide this from you!!! Any shorkie breeder claiming that the breed is not at risk for health issues is not being truthful.

#2 to look for

The Shorkie breeder said all her breeding adults dogs had been seen my their regualr vet so that must mean the dogs are healthy and will produce healthy puppies. The breeder you are considering has had their lines fro many year and had no problems so there must be no problem in the lineage anywhere

MYTH!!!!

Regular vets for the most part are not experts in the field of breeding or reproduction. Due to this they may not feel they have the right to tell a client not to breed or may feel that they will lose business by doing so. Sadly enough even if a vet did tell a breeder not to breed the breeder may not listen and only give into the parts of the conversation the breeder wanted to hear.

No matter how good a vet is it is impossible for one to tell that a dog being considered for breeding is clear of genetic disease by just doing a routine examination. Genetic testing that has been developed to weed out these issues call for the qualifications of a specialty veterinarians that are qualified to do the testing not just a regular vet.

You would think that Shorkie breeders that have been breeding for a while would take the money they make from the puppies they produce and get the proper genetic testing done. This would clearly be in the best interest of the Shorkie puppies being reduced and save so many families that adopt shorkies the heart break of a unhealthy puppy

It is devastating to encounter genetic disease of any kind in any breed, . Families around the world have their hearts broken when their furry family member is crippled goes blind, found to be deaf, dies from heart problems, or is suffering with some other gentic issue that could have been found if the breeder did the proper genetic testing . we beleive at the Shorkie Club Of America that Shorkie breeders that want to be resposblie test; irresponsible ones do not test. Pure and simple

When Shorkie breeders take part in conducting genetic screening it is because we are dedicated to the ethical and healthy development of this breed. We are reducing the chances that our Official Shorkie Puppies will not be affected by the diseases that plague the shih tzu and yorkie breeds

The Shorkie puppies have AKC parents, so they must be healthy.

MYTH!!!!

The American Kennel Club is only a registry. AKC registration does not guarantee you a quality and they cleary state it on their site sire.

So just because your Shorkie Breeder has AKC dogs does not mean they are quailty and should be bred

The AKC does not register shorkies or approve of mixed breeding

The AKC is the oldest purebred dog registry in the US but it is for lineage only.

It is not based on health and keeps no records of health. It is up to the breeders to individually screen their potential breeding adults

Many breeder who breed purebred dogs claim the AKC registry as a stamp of quality for the puppies tjey produce.(puppy parents need to understand this) Many use the name the AKC as toll to market the puppies they are producing. but puppy parents often learn a hard lesson that just because they purchased an AKC registered puppy does not mean the puppy came from reliable and ehtical breeder. The same should be said for Shorkie Breeders

Just because the adults they breed to produce Shorkie puppies are AKC registered does not mean they are breeding quailty.

All of my personal dogs are Triple registered.

AKC CKC and APR but that has nothing to do with Shorkie Breeding and producing healthy Shorkie puppies.

Fact!

Responsible Shorkie breeders gentically screen their breeding adults!

Responsible Shorkie Breeder do this

Love and are committed to every puppy they bring into this world. Their puppy is apart of the family amily and welcome the new puppy parents in as extended family members when they place their fur baby in their home.

Take every step possible to ensure to make puppies they produce have a home to go to and will never end up in a bad situation, shelter or rescue.

Go though or have an adoption process that consist of matching the right family with the right puppy

Always honest and upfront about the puppies you are placing. and take the time to explain everything to you about owning a new puppy . They will talk openly about genetic issues and concerns you may have.

Always make sure that the entire family is in agreement on adopting a new puppy and never ever try and push and adoption through. If they are looking for a deal or discount refer them to the website as there are many cheap shorkie puppies for be found for sale. Explain to them how much a cheap puppy may cost them in the end.

Speak to everyone that is involved in adopting the puppy. No puppies are ever to be given as a gift. Matching the right puppy with the right person is a huge task and the person who will be taking care of the dog has ever right to take part in the selection process . No gifting puppies ever!!!

Is always available to take a puppy or a dog back that they produced.

Are always available as a source of support in training or any other issues that may arise. Oftern the good breeders real job starts once the new puppy goes home so they can help the new puppy parents be the best they can be

Take measures to ensure that the puppies they bring in this world are happy halth y puppies and not genetic night mares for the puppy parents that adopt them

Have teh knowledgde and expertise to explain what the genetic diseases for the breed they are breeding . Resposible breeders do testing and gentic screening

Mnay wonderful dogs that appear healthy can pass on serious genetic diseases that no one knew about beause the dog was never tested

Do your research and there is a lot out there. Educate yourself in basic genetics so you can understand how dogs that appear in perfect health can produce puppies that can be a genetic nightmare and suffer severely from a genetic disorder that was preventable.

Make sure that puppies they produce are happy and healthy but of sound temperament as well.

Make sure they have the time to raise a litter of puppies and socialize them well from the day they are born. Puppies need a lot of stimulation and human time to become well adjusted and transfer OVER INTO THE WORLD OF HUMANS,

A responsible breeder will make time to be home full time the week the mamma is due, so not to miss a single puppy being born.

Will never ever be in a rush to send their babies home right at 8 weeks and never before that, Most responsible breeders keep their puppies until they are a minimum of 10 weeks old to ensure proper socialization. No puppy ever leaves until it is confident and ready for the world.
