| "Designer" blue born Yorkshire Terriers :-( While looking for some photos of blue born Yorkies, I came across this website that is advertising blue borns as "designer" Yorkies. The photos are instructional, but I'm in shock that someone would sell them as premium designer dogs . Yokie Happiness |

| I donīt mean to be rude, but the pups on that site arent the prettiest specimens of the breed that Iīve ever seen..those blue pups look odd to me.Would people really buy them even though they look sick? First of all, the coat looks all wrong, and I donīt mean just the colour, but the length and texture alone would put me off right away, the flash of the camera is bouncing off of it, and it still doesnt have an ounce of shine at all, itīs the dullest coat on a puppy that Iīve ever seen. Then they eyes look wrong too, it looks like they are drooping down to the side instead of the front and the shape of the head...I donīt know, I just donīt think anyone can look at those blue pups and think "oh yes, Iīm going to spend top dollar on that puppy". I mean, if this is the best they have (anyone wanting to sell a "product" online will only use the best pics) then what do the rest of them look like? I totally understand that accidents can happen and that blue pups will continue to pop up every now and again and they deserve loving homes, but to breed them on purpose seems crazy to me. As a rule, what first draws people to the yorkshire terrier is their beautiful coat, the main thing they are famous for, so why would anyone want to breed puppies whoīs coats are going to be awful right off the bat?? (and thatīs just the tip of the iceberg!) I do not get it. |

YT 1000 Club Member | This is horrible. This whole site irritates the heck out of me. The pups look like they are not taken care of at all plus they have the look of having hydrocephalus. Then there is the writeup they have about only breeding to the standard and going for everything else except looks when they breed. Not one of the dogs shown on there is to the standard of their given breeds. Not to mention mixing the breeds. Shame on the owner of this site.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I see nothing but sadness in their eyes. It breaks my heart because those humans are just in it for money. I have to stop my imagination from running rampant about their living conditions. I literally feel sick.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | When will people realize that "variety" is a bad thing in breeding purebreds, the whole idea of a purebred is a predictable look and behavior. We can't help these horrible breeders, but we can help education the buyer, please stay away from breeders who don't understand what "standard" means and the reasons for it. This particular breeder really wins the prize, and has hit a new low.

I donīt understand why anyone would want to purposely produce off standard yorkies, and the first thing ruined by doing this is the one thing that yorkies are actually famous for...their coats.Then thereīs everything else you donīt see (health issues etc etc). The same goes for the greeders who purposely produce "teacup yorkies". They go out of their way to produce bulging eyed, big headed yorkies whoīs tounges donīt even fit in their heads, they throw the words "teacup" and "baby doll face" around a few times, and people throw their money at them because they fit in cute little designer totes that go with their shoes | |
