Actually, Marc, I think this thread has gone pretty well. Not nearly as heated as some I've seen, which is why it is probably still open after 13 pages.
There is a full range of opinions on YT, and lots of passion for the breed. But the Breeders Talk section is primarily composed of people who show and breed Yorkies, so they have the most invested in preserving this breed as it is currently described. Unless the standard changes, I don't think any amount of debate will change the opinions on breeding.
To everyone's benefit, however, these are the same people who watch the big board and jump in when someone is in trouble - either health issues or breeding/whelping issues. So I have found that these people are adamant about breeding issues when it is simply a debate, but the first to help when it is "real life". And so I'm grateful for all of them. And some day you might be too. We never know what life will bring us.
Best wishes raising your little girl.
