I do not think she bred to standard. Her dogs all looked standard, but its hard to tell on looks alone whether they were actually standard. Maybe she was a hobby breeder? She seemed to only have 1 liter at a time and no other breeds, just yorkies. Her dogs were $750 for males and $800 for females. I do not believe she put restrictions on breeding her female puppies though either.

Honestly, they sound like backyard breeders in my opinion. But it does sound like they were in it as a hobby and not a money-making thing. I'm sure they care about and love their dogs and just don't know any better so far as breeding them goes. Just because a breeder is a backyard breeder doesn't necessarily mean they are bad people or don't love and care for their dogs. They just arent the type of breeder I would buy from or recommend from now on. Doesn't mean anything so far as your baby goes...mine came from a BYB...and I love her to death and wouldn't trade her for the #1 yorkie in the world! I just know that any dog I purchase from now on will come from a breeder that meets my criteria for a reputable breeder.
