I don't think that I am one of those "rescue" people that you are referring to, but I didn't know that Diesel was part of an established line/breeding program. He is a handsome guy!! (I guess I am not on YT enough...
). I know that there are some
very good breeders here....... and
also some that are new to the Yorkie world and just "want to have puppies" and make some $$. (Like you said.... it is mostly newbies that look at the "for sale" threads! ) Seeing an AKC male for $700.00 could attract the wrong breeder. Sorry to offend if I have.......
