The truth is no matter what they say most people are breeding their pet yorkies for the money. They don't care if they are hurting the breed, they don't care if the pups end up in a puppy mill or dies because a back yard breeder simply has no idea how to help them. My boys always go to new homes first because it is so hard to find homes for the gals where I can feel secure in knowing that they won't be used to furnish someone's family members with yorkies. I had one lady even tell me "but I bred a burnese mountain dog once". I had another lady exclaim " I have a male so why not breed her?" Sad to say that this kind of mindset is very prevelent out there. They may as well say to me "what the heck, it's just a dog, as long as I get what I want out of it, I paid for it!" Sounds like I'm selling my angels into slavery and than they seem surprised when I tell them to look elsewhere. If it's just a business for alot of breeders they don't care what happens to the merchandise once it leaves their home, as long as they make the money. It's really sad and I don't know how to change it.
