These puppies are being sold to young to people that have no ideal in what it takes to maintain the health of not only yorkies but any puppy. I am a owner of 3 small dogs soon to be 4. 2 Chi Chi's (I got mine when taco bell dog got popular) and 2 yorkies. I take my dogs where ever I go/ or can take them and I hate when people just pet my dogs too! I did my research on chi chi's and yorkies before I got one. These young people need to do the same instead of just jumping in and buying one because it's the "in" thing.   |  
 
  You just said you got your Chi when the tacco bell dog got popular, was that not the "in" thing then????    
Also I would hope that not all  judge 18-19 year olds as being irresponsible.  I was married at 18 worked full time to my hubby through university and was responisble pet owner.  Both of my children were very responsible at the age of 18. Both held jobs and did well at school and helped me with my foster dogs.  When there was a poll of age of members here most were yonger. I just don't like to stereotype people even when it comes to age.
