I have wonderful lines in my dogs, but with that being said I did not run into any health problems until I bought in the wonderful akc champion sired dogs. I would love to go back to the old lines I started with. If I would ever decide to bring another yorkie into my home I would look at the dog first and the pedigree second. People and breeders should realize a champion pedigreed dog means nothing if the lines are junk.
My dogs welfare will always come first! Friends will always come second!
