If you are a buyer do your homework and if you come across a breeder that doesn't do what you think is right then find another breeder. It doesn't matter how many times you argue your point some just won't get it or listen and I am not intentionally trying to make this comment to hurt anyone. Let your conscience be your guide!
If someone calls me and they don't want to abide by what I expect then by all means look elsewhere wont' hurt my feelings at all....just know if you don't purchase from a reputable breeder you do take your chances. Health issues may have not come out of your lines "YET" but if you don't know them frontwards and backwards then there will be that possibility and I hope those breeders do the right thing by their breedings.
Again, this is not by any means trying to be mean or rude. This is all I'll say on this subject.....Most know how I feel so no need going back over it!

I just wish more would health screen before they breed. Too many yorkies with genetic defects and illnesses. Before you breed, please make sure you are only breeding healthy, sound dogs. It's not fair to the dogs or their owners for them to be born unhealthy
