LOL - I know. What is so funny is that the ones that say they hate it - have an import too or exported one or more of their yorkies. I do not think it matters - as long as the dog is sound and comes from a reputable breeder. We live in a world now that is smaller, so to speak. Things are changing and some have difficult with change, no matter what it is.
When I was searching - no one had anything I liked or none available by some here in US. I was not going to settle. I had a good reputation from when I showed before, so I was on waiting lists. And I waited awhile and did my research. I had certain connections in Europe to make sure what I was getting was good. I did not go through "the back door" as some say. I just could not find anything here at the time. That is all. It was not a rush to get anything. I was not going to settle for less either. I think I did pretty good. I am showing and member of an all breed AKC club. No breed club in my area. I am doing my best to help the breed standard. So let them talk, dislike all they want. I do what I think is best for myself and our breed. I learned this a long time ago when I first was showing and got a Mayfair yorkie. Looks like you do what you think is best too, Deana. I am seeing more imports here now in the ring and they are winning. At least people are showing them and having them evaluated.
