Oh yes..it discusts me

I hate that so many yorkies have health problems, and so many yorkies don't even look like yorkies anymore. I think it is so sad that yorkies are 36 times more likely to have liver shunt than all other breeds combined..and I think it's sad that LP is so common.

I've seen it a lot on here recently...people want a puppy and they want it now! They don't seem to listen to advice about finding a reputable breeder...they just seem to want to go with the first puppy they find that is in their price range.

I just think it is so important to go into buying a puppy with a cautious attitude...finding a reputable breeder can be difficult, but people shouldn't settle for less than that.
