I think every one should do all they can to keep the quality of yorkies as high as possible; but isn't breeding to improve the line an excepted practice?

I'm seen many show breeders say that there is no perfect dog out there (although a lot of them look perfect to me)..that each one will have some type of flaw. So, yes, when breeding they do have to look for another dog that is strong in the area that the other is weaker. Getting into all that gets pretty complicated though and I don't know enough to explain it any more than that.
