I've owned a lot of mutts, and I know they can be wonderful; in fact, I was against purebred breeding because I had a rather horrible experience with a backyard breeder, and believed that all breeders were only interested in making money off of dogs. As I have learned more, I realize that there are some breed clubs that are truly interested in protecting the breed, and they truly love the breed, and want to do right by it. It's not easy to find one of these breeders, but it is possible. I think we should only buy a dog, if we are interested in supporting the "future" of the Yorkshire terrier, and we should only buy from the best breeders we can find. If all you want is a pet, rescues and shelters are the way to go, but if you want to ensure that beautiful healthy examples of the Yorkshire Terrier breed are around 100 years from now, support a great breeder!
