Fair enough if you think that dogs shouldn't be bred from unless they are breed standard, but that doesn't guarantee good health either, and if that were true, would you think that disabled people shouldn't be born, and have nothing to offer either ?
I personally think that no matter what the Yorkie is like, and for however long it lives, all that should matter is that they are loved and enjoyed.
You don't always get all "good" pups in a litter - what do you do with those who don't conform ? They are all worth something in my eyes for just being themselves.
Often the best of them all in character are the ones which are not "breed standard" and repay the love they receive for them being special for whatever reason in bucketloads.
"Breed standard" dogs aren't always the best dogs - I am all for variety, as long as they receive only the very best in life from their owners. I'd quite happily take on a sad-looking doggie as well as a "good" puppy - it makes no odds to me. I have done both as well, in giving the three treasured Yorkies I have the very best home....no matter where they came from.
I am sure we all feel different things though, but I don't think most of us would see any dog in a terrible state, even if they are not show-quality.
