No, people DEFINITELY breed for money. Those people though, are generally not considered
good breeders. People that breed dogs every other heat aren't looking out for the welfare of the dog and definitely aren't trying to improve the breed. In a perfect world, everyone who bred would find the best girl they could get, look around for a boy that would help "fix" the areas that the mother was weak in and make pups that are better than the parents. They would test mom and dad for all of the necessary genetic problems yorkies can have (NOT cheap). They would have regular vet visits during the pregnancy to check on the female. They would have an ultrasound done before the birth. The tests are necessary to make sure that you aren't going to make puppies that end up sick. If you don't test and that happens, that is on YOUR head. You may have well made those puppies sick yourself. They didn't choose to come here, you bred their parents and "created" them. If they get two bad genes because you didn't buy a blood test, that's your fault. I know it sounds harsh, but it's the way I and many other people feel. I know there are lots of reasons that pups get sick that aren't genetically based. If that happens, there's nothing you can do. But wouldn't you want to prevent all the illnesses you could?
I know it's not a nice world and that people do breed for cash. These are the people I try to stay away from or at least not discuss breeding with. I generally lose my cool when that happens.
