Well, I'm of course a very new mom, but have already poured everything inside me into the 'new baby', and only suffered just over 24 hours of the agony of the possibility of him having been stolen by someone who might not be loving him, and it is unspeakable emotional agony for the human on the end of the bond. I was taken aback by suggestions from police and shelter people that this happens. I was even warned that, "especially with yorkies", even if the shelter tells you they don't have him, GO THERE AND ASK TO SEE THE DOGS IN THE BACK. This was repeated to me twice, with emphasis, from an officer who happened to be a yorkie person.

I do not know what dogs this happens with, or where people commonly go first for online research into dog types, but maybe someone who understands what prospective new puppy parents should check for when meeting with a yorkie seller, could edit the Wikipedia for yorkshire terriers at least to start with, and post some facts about the theft problem there to help generate more public awareness?
