I feel it is so sad the lengths some will go to in order to protect and continue their BUSINESS of selling dogs

Dogs should NEVER be used as a business or means of making an income

My hope is that one day all those useing dogs in this way will be stopped from breeding them...I just see too many poorly bred yorkies out there with too many health issues.

Remember everyone, "champion bloodlines" does NOT mean show/breeding quality. Look at how far back those champions are, how many? But you have to evaluate the actual DOG, not just look at it's bloodlines.. Truth be told, most of our dogs have "champion bloodlines" because most of our dogs have a champions SOMEWHERE in their lineage.

Also, anyone can claim that they do this and that test. I'm not saying this breeder doesn't do any testing...but I don't think anyone has seen proof that she has either. Always be sure to get proof of testing that is claimed.
