If you want to see what good ethical breeders are supposed to do, look at the
Yorkshire Terrier Club of America's Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. If you do all the showing and all the advertising and all the testing and pay for a great stud, it's not cheap. The dogs that should be bred are the dogs that have the makings of a great yorkie. This is evaluated in the breed ring where they are given a championship because they are of sound structure and temperament. These are the dogs that should be sold on open registration, and they are worth more. They're a better yorkie by the standard. Pet quality dogs are just as wonderful and just as loved and just as sweet, but they shouldn't be bred.
