I have seen a lot of Yorkies on this site- some look better and others appear worse. It is a choice of the breeder as to the age of puppies when allowed to be adopted- I note that this breeder does state depending on the size. I also notice that a year health warranty is given. There a positive here. You as a potential client have to evaluate if the positives outweigh the negatives.

Do not judge folks by the standard of if they are members of YTCA or not. If I remeber correctly a short time ago a memeber of the YTCA was spoke of by members of this forum because of the poor conditions her dogs. If I am not mistaken Joan Gordon and Nancy Donavon are no longer members of YTCA.
They were pillars of the breed for many years. Is it nice to belong to YTCA- yes if that is what you want and you can meet the membership requirements.
Some very nice breeders choose not to belong to such organizations for their
own personal reasons.

Many of us myself included are not good and picture taking-also the amount of grooming that the dog has in the picture makes a world of differance. How many of us have a yorkie that is perfectly groomed 100% of the time?

I am sure that we have all seen the trash magazines or celebrity Tv shows that will show a super model or star who is not in the glamour mode and they look rather ordinary.

Maybe out of courtesy to fellow members we should come up with a different way to ask about each other. Maybe a pm should have been done. This could save a lot of hurt feelings and when help or encouragement is needed it could be done in a kind way.

Maybe we should have a thread in which each member who wants to be a breeder who lists puppies/adults for sale can list themselves and give a more detailed spec on themselves and the breeding program that they have- why they are breeding and what they hope the breeding program will acheive.
