I'm a big advocate of rescue first. I know many will disagree with this but I really feel that there are too many that need homes (Including Yorkies) and I'm really not a fan of breeding. I'm sure this will stir some up but I have to wonder if the female were given a choice would they want to have puppies? I mean think of how woman feel being pregnant then think about how you'd feel having to be that way heat after heat until you're too old and then placed because you no longer fit into someone's breeding program and that's if you were lucky enough to be with someone that at least cared enough to find you a home. Some are not even that lucky.
In so far as what to do about puppymills, back yard breeders and inhumane conditions. ADVOCATE FOR STRONGER LAWS.
