Hi Gary,
Please don’t feel silly, as the only way you can learn anything is by asking questions.
Since you are absolutely right about me and the other breeders that are listed on the Yorkshire Terrier of America’s breeder referral page. We are yorkie purest and breed only to improve the Yorkshire Terrier Breed. We breed for ourselves first, in efforts to produce our next Champion to add to our breeding program.
Now on to a bit of education. While there are those that cross breed, it is a practice that the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America and their members do not condone. Those type of breeders are not reputable and breeding only for the sole purpose of money. These breeders do not take into account that they are possibly breeding in life threatening genetic defects that afflict both breeds. They do not test prior to breeding and most do not take their dogs welfare into consideration. While I do know of these breeders, they are not who I would befriend. If I sound a bit snobbish, I’m sorry, but, these breeders are contributing to the high population of dogs that end up in Shelters.
Good Luck in your search
