That is a lot of yorkies without homes. I do not (nor to I see any reason to) breed to supply the pet market. With that many yorkies seeking new homes, obviously the pet market is over-supplied already. The majority of these pets that are up for adoption come from the backyard breeder.
I have some lovely yorkies. Right now I have 5 dogs in my breeding program. Two of them were produced by me but 3 of those dogs, I purchased from other breeders. These breeders have dedicated a good portion of their lives and I know how much of their hard earned cash into developing the lines that they have. I am fortunate and blessed to own these dogs. They were sold to me by breeders who trusted me to protect their lines. I do not have the desire nor the right to sell puppies from these breedings on open papers. To do so would be breaking a trust that took me many years to earn.
