Kelly, I for one agree with you! Toto was the first Yorkie we had ever had any contact with. We were fortunate that we were both able to be with her 24/7. We were absolutely in awe of her ... followed our breeder and vet's instructions to the letter. We didn't take her out, especially where there were "strangers" ... we briefly "showed her off" to family & close friends but they were not allowed to hold her. We did this until she had all her shots and even now do it to a certain extent!
Fortunately, she has been unbelievably healthy! I know there are breeders who only raise them for the money and there are those that breed over and over trying to get smaller and smaller dogs. These are the ones who need to be put out of business! To me that is as much animal cruelty and hitting one! I know we were lucky ... and it breaks my heart to hear about those who encounter problems like a lot who have joined this forum. I believe a good breeder is one who tries to breed healthy dogs!!
