Oh that wasnt rude at all, lol.
Yorkies are supposed to grow up to be blue and gold or blue and tan, that is what the standard is for color. If you have blue born puppies that is an entire other story. Blue born are different than pups that grow up to be blue. Not to be rude, but if you don't know anything about what yorkies are supposed to look like as far as color, why would you be breeding?
Unethical is not just calling a puppy a fun name (teacup, shnorkie, whatever) to make money. Unethical would also be deliberately breeding a dog that you know has a high chance of having puppies that have health issues. There are many things that make someone unethical, not just a fun name.
Trust me, if you think I was rude, you have no idea. I am pretty easy going when it comes to dog breeding compared to many here. I am not a stickler on color, and I don't even mind mixed dog breeders, as long as they are breeding healthy dogs and doing everything in their power to find good homes. Like I said, I do draw the line when the health of the animal is involved though.
If you do a search here, you can find many people that have had both positive and negative first hand experiences with blue borns. To me, the bad outweighs the good. Sure there are some that will say "well I have a blue born, and I wouldn't trade them for anything!" And I wouldnt trade my daughter that has a heart condition for the world, but I would also not try to produce a heart problem in another child either.
