You're right, it's too risky. However, how can someone guarantee that there are no bad bites EVER in their lines? As I mentioned earlier, don't all yorkies have the same ancestors? Don't they all somewhere even 10-20 generations back carry some type of recessive gene? You can breed to try to eliminate these genes and a good breeder will do that. However, I'd like to meet someone that can guarantee 100% that their lines are perfect without any faults.
