Pure bred AKC registered yorkies do not fall into many of the above categories. Most people would not be willing to admit that they no longer want the dog because it got too big. So they give any of the above excuses. |
Did you take a look at the yorkies currently in the care of YHR ~the rescue that I volunteer with? Just about ever Yorkie that we have currently is a breeder cast off, poorly breed with serious medical issues. You might know breeding but I know rescue. I beg to differ with your opinion of rescues and why they are in rescue. Most if not all go back to poor breeding practices and having medical issues not size and weight.
