pointed out that everyone has oppinions. With that said, I can't help but put my .02 cents in. Yes, it may be a for sale section but this site as a whole is about our love for Yorkies. I don't think anyone is being rude to the OP. I think they are expressing a concern that since this girl is not being sold with a limited registration that it is opening the doors for people to breed her.
Secondly, as quoted from her post "She will be too small to breed of course but if you purchase something it's yours, so who am I to tell you what to do what your things." Well, you as a breeder have a responsibility to see that this does not happen. I realize that this is not always easy to do but selling her with Limited Registration will certainly deter people from using her as a breeder. Don't you think?
You further mentioned that you just do not sell the small ones that say they want to breed, but as a business woman because whether one wants to admit it or not - breeding is to some degree if not totally about business, so as a business woman I'm sure you know that there are many scammers out there that will tell you they are not looking to breed when that is exactly what they are looking to do. Tiny, Teacup, Micro these are what are being sold and sold for big $$ so to think that someone won't lie and buy your girl to breed is being nieve.
In closing let me just say that from what I can remember anytime I've seen tiny girls for sale here on YT being sold by reputable breeders, they are almost always if not all the time sold on a limited registration. It's your job and your responsibility as a breeder to do whatever you can to ensure that a pup not intented to be bred is not bred and although selling with a limited is not full proof it's certainly a good start in doing so. Just my .02.

Thank you, Elaine. You said exactly what I meant, but you said it much better than me. It was not my intention to be rude to the OP or to anyone else. But, one of the purposes of YT is to help educate people. I just hate to see people breeding these tiny dogs. Unfortunately, no matter how great you think you can judge people, there are many scammers out there and people who don't have the love and passion for the breed that many of us here do. I see nothing wrong with selling these pups with a spay/neuter contract or at least limited registration. That is responsible breeding, in my opinion.
