Responsible breeders take great care to produce puppies who will grow up to look as close to the Yorkies standard as possible. Puppy mills (pet shops) and backyard breeders just put two pet quality dogs together to produce puppies for profit. The result is unpredictable. |

The AKC is the only registry that requires DNA testing. |
Just because a dog is AKC doesn't mean they are pure breed, there are some that are not ethical and slide under this.
AKC doesn't require DNA on Dams, I wish they would, but they don't. Only on the Studs used 3 times a year or 7 time a lifetime.
I really wish they would DNA everything.
