Guess how many were to standard? ONE.
I didn't expect anything different, to be honest, bc I know what's been done to this breed. The indiscriminate breeding is very sad.

This is why choosing a reputable breeder is so important. I feel like people here at YT try to express this until they're blue in the face sometimes though, and some just don't want to believe it. Frustrating.
I've noticed this too; I wonder if AZ is worse than the rest of the country? Not that the dogs aren't cute and loveable, but sometimes when were out shopping at Petsmart people will tell me that they have a yorkie too, and I think, "really"? So far, I've never said, "You need to bring it next time you come."
