I think you can answer your own question by looking at pedigrees. Though there may be a few, I've yet to see a Yorkshire Terrier whose pedigree was all champions. This includes the most accomplished breeders that would not be considered to be 'supplying the pet market'. Case in point....Cede Higgins' dam was not championed. You can check this link to see pedigrees of some notable Yorkies and see there are none with all champions in the pedigree.
