Very well said, especially if your wanting a quality pup AND you don't know a particular breeder, your chance is much higher of getting a healthy, bred to standard pup from a show breeder...Lets face it folks, there are "Yorkie Breeders" on every corner these days...we don't know anything about them, the dogs they are breeding, the conditions of where they come or if they are even going to be around in a year. if you have a problem..why wouldn't you want to buy some of the best, HEALTHY Yorkies out there...no, I'm not a show breeder, but we have bred ours and had pups..The many many phone calls from ppl here in our town that wanted to know if we would sell them was unbelievable, and I thought these ppl have no idea what they could be getting themselves into by wanting a Yorkie so bad and not being educated about what they should ask and expect from a breeder..... I AM going to be a breeder someday, not sure about a show breeder...I desire it, live, eat and breath these dogs, but the time in my life isn't right yet... and, If at that time, I had someone that chose to buy a showbreeders "product" over mine, I would totally understand. I would have nothing to back-up what I do but alot of cute pictures, and thats OK... Sticking with the breeders here on YT is much safer than searching the internet!
