PAWS would take care of (and save)yorkies that do not fit the breed standard and would thus weaken the breed.
Perhaps I am reading more into it than is there but anyone can read what they say at: www.ytca.org

The reason they probably wouldn't be welcomed (hobby breeders) is because the standard isn't kept up the way it's supposed to with a yorkie. JIMO. Too many hobby breeders do it for profit (not generalizing but there's too many of those kinds). The YTCA prides itself in their regulations and great looking yorkies as a result of great and CAREFUL breeding.
