I understand when we see cute pups its hard to say no to anything ....take the breeders side of what you said in consideration for one minute.
Lets say "tobys human" decided to stud him because he has an adorable face, the bitch has pups, all the kids have roach backs...NOW YOU AS THE BUYER...if you are not educated what a quality yorkie should look like, you buy a pup, as it grows you notice the curve in the back, then as he ages further you notice a leg or hip problem what are you going to do....BLAME THE BREEDER, trash the breeder, never recommend the breeder...breeding is as good as our reputation, keep a breeding program clean, keeps a reputation clear of gossip and blame.
It's a vicious circle that can be avoided if all breeders adhere to a strict standard.
