Did you know that 25% of all the dogs in shelters are purebreds? And that it's the backyard breeders, not the puppymills that are responsible for most of the purebred dogs who end up in shelters.

That article blew me away! If you ask me I think it should be reposted in the General Forum and be made a sticky & required reading in the Breeders Forum for anyone that is considering breeding their Yorkie.
