The
AKC Purebred
VS
The New
Designer Puppies
Is one
healthier than the other???
Shih tzus and Yorkies are being bred all over the world now
and it has become quite the trend. But what makes a healthy
Shorkie puppy or a healthy Shih Tzu ???
We know we begin with a Shih Tzu Mom and a Yorkie Dad or we
breed and Shih Tzu to a Shih ztu
But then what?
A lot of puppy ads and breeders alike proudly proclaim that
their puppies are "AKC" puppies and they have been AKC breeders
for years.
Which is AWESOME our
dogs are all AKC registered!!!!!
but what does AKC
really mean.
This is what puppy
parents usually dont know.
The initials "AKC"
stand for American Kennel Club. The AKC is the leading breed
registry in the United States of America. The assumption, often
by uneducated and unsuspecting puppy parents is that if the
puppy is an "AKC" puppy it must be of high quality and healthy.
WRONG!!!!!!!It
would be a wrong assumption, as the AKC explains on their
website
A "purebred dog" is
a dog that comes from parents of the same breed - that is
all.
It has to do with lineage,
not quality, not fitness, not health - just the pedigree, the
ancestry, the parentage of the dog. If both parents are AKC
registered and are of the same breed then the puppies are also
eligible for registration. They can be high quality healthy
puppies, or genetic nightmares
- it doesn't matter just so long as the parents are registered
and of the same breed.
No form of Genetic testing is mandatory from the AKC
So unless Shih Tzu breeders are
performing Genetic Testing that is recommended by tht Shih Tzu
Club of America... (BUT NOT MANDATORY)... how do they know what
the out come of the off spring will be????
The Shorkie Club Of America will not
accept any members that have not had their dogs genetically
tested for
HEART KIDNEY LIVER HIPS AND EYES!!!!!
THAT IS THE FIRST STEP IN PRODUCING A BREED AND BEING
RESPONSIBLE IN NOT BREEDING THE GENETIC FAULTS THAT PLAGUE THE
SHIH TZU AND YORKIE BREED.
This is to ensure we are producing the healthiest babies
possible. The procedures are costly but the best thing we can do
for our Shorkie puppies and our puppy parents. So with if we are
testing for our shorkies the great thing when we do have our
shih tzu litters they will already be tested prior to
breeding!!!!
Why is the Shorkie Club of America Registry Important
Our shorkie breed
registry, THE
SHORKIE CLUB OF AMERICA provides a centralized location for
maintaining records. A pedigree is the ancestry of a dog.
Keeping good records of a shorkie puppies pedigree allows better
understanding and tracking of both good and bad qualities that
appear in the shorkie puppies we produce. In some cases the
appearance of a genetic defect can be traced to a single dog.
Often genetic defects do not appear until after the dog has
matured. The ability to trace pedigrees with some accuracy
allows a better basis for breeding decisions.
That is what the
Shorkie club Of America
is all about
GREAT SHORKIE
BREEDINGS!
This is the only
shorkie group dedicated to the ethical development and
establishment of this Mixed breed. If you see any of this
information on any other sites it has been taken from us.
With all that said.. There
are very very responsible AKC breeders and Designer breeders
available to help you no matter what type of puppy you are
looking for.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Get LOTS
of references. Make sure they have been breeding your breed of
choice for more than a couple of years. Dont be taken in by
CHEAP puppies for sale that come with no genetic testing behind
them . Be A Good Puppy Parent and RESEARCH
Okay everyone here it
comes!!!!! THE ANSWER TO THE QUESITON THAT HAS THE DOG BREEDING
WORLD UP IN ARMS!!!!!
Hybrid Vigor: is it true? iS A MIXED BRED DPG HEALTHIER THAN
A PUREBRED????
When you cross breed
domestic dogs (Canis familiaris), you are within the same
species; therefore, not creating a hybrid.
So is it a THEORY OR FACT! got it THEORY NOT FACT.!!!!!!
You be the judge!!!!
Breeders of mixed
breed and designer dogs have been using this for s few years
now to sell their puppies. That's why we have never had it on
our site.
Let me explain
to you how it works
Hybrid Vigor simply
means when you cross two different
breeds of dogs they
will be healthier.
NOT TRUE! Many breeds
carry the exact same health problems in their lineage. So the
chance is just as high of health issues arising.
Further More
Some of the problems in
Shih tzus and Yorkies are common to both breeds such as Things
such as Hip and Elbow Dysplasia, Luxating Patella's, various eye
problems, von Willebrand's (a bleeding disorder)Liver and
kidney problems, especially eye issues. Shih Tzu's and Yorkies
are actually #1 and #2 breeds for the exact same eye issues.
Rarely do people breeding crosses do any health tests – genetic
or otherwise. They assume that an annual veterinarian visit and
shots are all that is needed. Maybe for a pet dog, but breeders
need to consider the genetic health of puppies produced. This is
where many breeders do not take responsibility for the puppies
they are producing.
"We
even take our puppies for eye cerf testing exams" SHORKIES AND
PUREBRED SHIH TZU PUPPIES!!!!
Its not something we
use as a sales gimmick or advertise.. WE DO NOT EVEN TELL OUR
PUPPY PARENTS WE DO THIS. WE FEEL IT OUR RESPONSIBLY TO
PROVIDE THAT FOR OUR PUPPY PARENTS!
i ts
just what we do to be responsible breeders.
The myth that
purebreds are unhealthy or nasty came about due to bad breeders
who either did not care about health testing or who were
ignorant and felt that dogs who show no outward signs of a
problem do not have it. This is huge for puppy parents to
understand . Let me repeat it one more time " bad breeders who
either did not care about health testing or who were ignorant
and felt that dogs who show no outward signs of a problem do not
have it."
THAT IS SO UNTRUE
Only
proper genetic testing can prove if your dogs have issues or
not. For purebred and mix breed breeders alike. Unfortunately
the BREED clubs will not and do not enforce it ...
Do not
fall for this old line from any breeder
I have
had my lines for 20 yrs and never had a problem
If they have been
breeding that long . Why haven't they done any of the testing?
Better yet why wouldn't they want too? And I personally have had
thingx come up in lines that are known to the breed and it is
important to remove it beofe a female or make are bred. Scieince
has come so far...for breeders to turn a blind eye and be left
behind.
Did you know Shih tzus are prone to HIP DYSPHASIA????? many
puppy parents only think about that in BIG BREED DOGS!!! well
think again. I have seen it and it is very very sad to
see!!!
A purebred dog
from a good and educated breeder has the same chance of being as
healthy if not healthier than a crossbred dog. This is a
fact.!!! Not a Theory
So, the next time you hear about hybrid vigor and how mixed
breeds are healthier, remember this: hybrid vigor is a theory.
The fact is any breeder
breeding should care about the puppies to ensure to the best of
their ability they are producing healthy puppies..
Purebred of Mix breed
Puppies
Breeders should have
the proper genetic testing done to ensure puppy parents they are
getting the best of the best.
Testing is very
expensive and can be time consuming. This is why many breeders
do not do it and can sell there puppies for much less and pass
the savings on to the puppy parents. But is it really a savings?
That is the question to ask yourself. As I have stated many
times on our site
We are not breeders of
Cheaply Bred Puppies
Having the Shorkie Club
Of America Registry
was very expensive and
very time consuming , but well worth it so we can keep an
accurate lineage and health accounts of all the adults that are
being bred and the babies they produce.
This is Proof Of The
Dedication and Passion we have for puppies we produce whether
they be mixed or purebred.
So whether it is first
generation ,second generation or third generation of a shorkie
breeding our a litter of Shih Tzu babies . We guarantee our
babies because of the genetic testing we do that supports our
breeding programs.
For myself and the
breeders of the Shorkie Club Of America it is worth the peace
of mind and should be to any breeder to know they are doing
everything possible to produce healthy puppies
This information is provided for you to consider and is only our
opinion when it comes to
HYBRID VIGOR.
There are so many great a ethical breeders.. just do your
research!!!
