I believe it is the known "rule" in the YT community (not agreeing or disagreeing, just making a statement ) that reputable breeders breed to better the breed, not to make money. Charging $5000 for a Yorkie seems as if the breeder is making a ton of money ($13,000 to be exact). Also, the breed should be 3-7lbs (I've even seen 4-7lbs). This breeder obviously breeds for tinies. Being that it's not within the standard, this breeder is not attempting to "better the breed," hence why people get upset.

Please know I am NOT condoning bashing and being rude on a forum! I am just saying that a lot of people are very passionate about their beliefs in the standard. I'm not sure if anyone said she was a mean, bad person. She may be the sweetest lady on the face of this earth, but that doesn't mean she has the best breeding practices.

I hope you understand what I mean. I'm not trying to upset anyone. I'm just saying people believe strongly in certain regulations on breeding Yorkies.
