it's obvious why. they got popular and everyone jumped on the bandwagon. BYB are all over. all they know is that they have a little male and female and they want to breed them. I know that here in Ky., I am one of the few that does not let my babies go as early as six weeks. mine go at twelve weeks. I am also one of the few that even know what a bloodline is and that does testing on parents. I know I have called people in the paper inquiring since I have been searching for possibly another female. I ask the seller, 'what is the bloodline' and you know the answer I usually get is, what are you talking about or I don't know. Some of them advertise champion lines. I am very familiar with most lines having done tons of research and when I ask them what their champion lines are, they don't have a clue. They bought two little dogs and thought they would make money. everyone started doing it and the bottom has fallen out of the market. My paper had yorkies for $250. this past weekend. i took my little girl to the airport Saturday and ran into an older couple that are breeders here. They were shipping a dog also. I had to ask what kind it was. it was so huge and floppy eared, it looked like a solid color beagle instead of a yorkie. i couldn't believe it. that's what most of the yorkies around "These parts" that are in the paper look like.
