My guess is that not many here feed their Yorkies Purina; it's just not a premium dog food which a Yorkie needs. Also, I was on the AKC website the other night and they had an ad for Whole Meal, whose ingredients are junk but it is jacked up with vitamins so they can advertise it as healthy. In my opinion, promoting these products is not conducive to the 'betterment of the breed'. Kind of makes you wonder what drives the YTCA and AKC these days. Have they fallen victim to the power of the almighty dollar?
Great post

There are so many that sware by AKC, as if its sacred and thats the final say (which is fine)... but if they promote such products and arent even monitoring their own websites to ensure that the breeders they list are abiding to the rules....how reputable is that? And even more so... I think that just because an individual abides by their state law, rather than the all mighty AKC law... doesnt necessarily make them a back yard breeder

I will comment... that its nice to see everyone be able to express their opinions in a polite & informative manner... Lets keep it up
