You know.. this is the first INFORMATIVE NICE thing you'd added to this thread. You could have said that from the begining instead of calling every cheap dog ugly or unsound.
YT is a wonderful place, full of info and mostly full of people who just love their yorkies, whether they be pet quality or show quality or breeding quality. You can't come on, new and start throwing out insults like that. Maybe YT could be a place where you could learn some things also.
I agree that when dogs are overbreed the quality of the breed goes down. Health problems occur and overall its just not a good thing. Thats what happened with Goldens years back.
