I think one reason Yorkies are not priced by quality is that too many breeders do not know what quality is. Too many are breeding dogs they think are cute when they are so far off from the standard they should have been spayed or neutered as soon as they were old enough. Go from website to website and you will see, IF they even show pictures of the dams and sires, that they are NOT good representatives of the breed. Look at the colors, look at the proportions, the toplines, the muzzles, the coat texture.
I am going to get a female next year. Luckily we have several EXCELLENT breeders here on YT that khow exactly how you should pick a breeding pair. I may have to take a road trip, but I plan to get a female that represents the breed like the standard intended. What is ironic is, I will probably not pay more than many that are selling "cute" puppies from parents not even close to standard.
