This breed is absolutely gorgeous. Haven't seen an ugly one yet. I don't understand how some of these breeders are getting away with selling "rare, exotic, chocolate, golden," Yorkshire Terriers. In doing my homework through the AKC and online, it is my understanding there is no such thing. Yet, these breeders are getting enormous fees for these puppies that are not recognized as the breed standard. Am I wrong? If so can someone set me straight. I am sick to death of reading how it is all about the babies but they are shipped clear across the globe. "We will sell you a dog for 1500. plus with limited registration because we are protecting the breed." Can the public be that out of touch. There is no such thing as a TEACUP Yorkie. Parents are buying them for their children because it's the "in" thing. How sad is this. These dogs are not meant to be handled by children. Yet families are asking to adopt one or buy one for their kids.
