you guys are totally right! We have to educate people. I garner a lot of attention with my yorkies, and everyone asks. I will use those times to tell people about how 'teacup' is being used to sell yorkies at ridiculous prices, and more importantly used and bred in questionable conditions to make such small pups.
I had wanted a small pup when i got Jaya. I feel guilty for that because i believe that ppl like me are the 'demand' part of demand and supply and there are just too many ppl wanting to profit on ignorance
i looked into the yorkshire breed for a whole year before i got Jaya, and i had a lot of confrontations with those mainstream breeders because i believed even then that what they were doing was wrong.
