Why do some of us have children??? Do we intend on making money off of our children??? Why no, we spend more on our children then anything we've ever had in our lifetimes. It's the love of the breed, the joy they give U when U have helped deliver a beautiful litter of babies, it's such as the joy of U giving birth to your children, this love is a love that no other can ever fill, it's a passion that grown from deep within, it's the moments when U do find the best loving homes where your babies (We had all "Pet/Companion Quality" babies) are loved and cherished, some people out here live for their yorkies and yes would die for them, I know I do and would, but I also would do the same for my children, it's knowing that you've gave others love pure lasting love, there are people who can't have children, just lost a spouse, just lost other animals and those who are elderly who has NO ONE and NOTHING to live for, people who are depressed and so lonely and grieving from life itself and our Yorkies give them that reason to get up a face another day!!! This is just SOME of the reasons I breed and maybe in others eyes I do breed for the wrong reasons and that is fine too but for me it's not for the money!! I gave 4Yorkies away no money made there in giving, There is no money to be made in breeding and raising yorkies, if done for the right reasons it's LOVE pure LOVE, what price do people put on love??? There is no price for LOVE!!!

Has anyone thought how the poor mommy feels about giving birth time after time only to have her babies taking away from her. That would be the day I would give birth and someone tried to take my baby away. Thats why I would never breed. Because my pup is a member of my family. I could never give or sell their children. It would be like selling one of my grandchildren. You say you would die for your yorkies. But you don't think about how much it hurts them when you sell or give their children away.
