This is clearly the impression I got reagarding some of the posts on this thread.
Everyone that is on this board obviously has a love for Yorkies, or they would not be here. Not everybody is as passionate about the subject as others are. Nor are everyone's lives as consumned with this passion, as others are. This does not mean that those individuals who are less passionate than others, do not love their Yorkie and take the best care of them.
I agree that education and knowledge should be gained before any breeding goes on with any species--including humans. But again there are different levels of people's passion in regards to breeding.
It is ironic because I know of dogs (both Yorkies and non Yorkies) that were breed by a "reputable breeder" that were very passionate about their breeding and the pups were definitely not within standard; and on the other hand I have seen pups (both Yorkies and non Yorkies) that were puppy mill pups and they could not be more "perfect" by the breed "standards" .
