I get so sick of seeing this. by people who do not know the smaller person is usually far more careful then some of the larger show breeders.. I for one have a bad taste in my mouth for some show breeders..have gotten yorkies that were very aggressive,, got pavo when told shots were done,, upon telling the breeder of these issues was called an idiot.. yet she is a huge show breeder in canada.
I could not ever imagine treating people like this.. so you can get a bad breeder not matter who it is..show or the hobby breeder like me.. I breed because I wanted to show people out there that there is a breeder in our area that wants to keep in touch.. wants to know all is ok.. wants to stand behind my dogs.. wants to show people that not all breeders can be bad.
As for yorkies being sickly .... you can get this with any dogs.. each breed having some kind of issue's... to the toy to the larger..
you will find that all toy or small breeds have a lot of the same issues to deal with..
personally and thank god.. I have had yorkies for 20 years.. and other then LP that is about the worst.. and I might add that not always caused from genetics..
So for those who worry so much about testing. maybe some need to post the link about rose losing a perfectly healthy yorkie puppy to testing.. when I might add parents were tested.. and this was done to stop some of the crap being said on this forum... slamming the people that do not test puppies..
I think you need to be on this forum for awhile and it will not take you long to figure out who is who and who says what.. and also at the same time notice how many healthy puppies people have bought...
As for people buying in pet stores.. and from breeders that let their puppies go as early as 8 weeks.. that is not good...
I just had a litter, and I will tell you that by the time I sell this little girl after losing three to a litter.. I would like to see some of these people say I am in this for a quick buck.. and I did not come to yt to sell my puppies neither..
hope you take your time.. and really check things out before you let a few destroy your hopes of being a mommy to a darling yorkie..

I tried to make it clear in my post that the breeder should health screen the parents. Most backyard breeders don't do this, they have a couple of dogs and the put them together without knowing their backgrounds or doing any screening. A small breeder isn't necessarily a byb, a show breeder might be considered a byb, if they didn't take care in breeding propertly.
