The only problem I have personally with buying dogs overseas is because they can't sell on limited registrations and control their breeding program like we can here in North America. That means anyone can misrepresent themselves and breed to just anything they want. That is how you get the messed up top lines, health issues ect...
Yes, you have to do your research and know what you want in a yorkie but at least here in North America we have somewhat control on breeding rights. I'm not saying yorkies overseas aren't some VERY nice representation of the breed because I've seen some gorgeous yorkies overseas I just personally couldn't bring myself to have a baby shipped in cargo that long, I think it's cruel but of course that is just my personal opinion
To the orginal poster Thank You on the compliment on Radar and this is in no way dishing you at all
It's just all my personal beliefs and the way I do things. Radar is from Canada and not the US because personally I loved his lines after watching his breeders dog in the ring and loved what those lines were producing. But of course I do show my dogs and breed very selectively and very little so I have gained the trust of the breeder. When I do sell I sell as a pet on limited registration, spayed or neutered and as a pet and on a pet contract. I won't sell a yorkie just for breeding only way is YOU have to show and finish the yorkie "PERIOD"!
And even then I have to approve breedings. Of course this is how I personally do things and in the end I can live with myself
