I'm only guessing ....but with the internet & WAY too many people jumping on the band wagon to sell puppies, (I won't say breeding because it's an insult to those who really care) ....the yorkie population has exploded and with that - so have health issues and problems.
When a dog gets popular - everyone and their uncle want to cash in.
I feel sorry for the people who breed for the love of the dog - they must feel ill reading and seeing all the health issues so many are experiencing (I know I do) ...even worse - dogs are suffering all because someone wanted to make a quick buck. |
