I would not have the healthy 11 yr old yorkie if someone wasn't willing to let me have
her at 3 yrs old because she knew I would give her a good home. If I were a breeder
I'm not sure I could give them up but like YorkieRose said if you do serious breeding
you just cannot keep them all and take care of them they way they deserve. It has
to be a hard decision.
