Also, because they are in it for the $$$, they will probably overcharge, and if your puppy gets sick, they probably won't care. A small dedicated breeder on the other hand, cares about the puppies, only breeds to better the breed, cares about who the puppies go to, does health screening, breeds as a hobby and not for the money. I would go with a small dedicated breeder any day over a backyard breeder!

Ok then i have another question... My friend has a female shi-tzu that she wants my to breed with my male yorkie. would this make me a backyard breeder? and how do you become a reputable stud owner?
