This is true. Lil Bit came from a BYB - my husband surprised me with her one day. He had a TV repair business after he retired from the Air Force. He fixed one lady's TV and she didn't have the money to pay him and asked if he would take one of her litter of Yorkie's instead, he knew I was still missing Penni, my first Yorkie who went to the Rainbow Bridge when she was 15.1/2, so he said he would accept the puppy. He thought he was doing something nice for me, he didn't understand about "breeding" Other than the emergency visit I mentioned earlier, she got a bladder stone in 2006 and it was very expensive to have removed. I believe she also has some neurological problems.
Beamer, from a reputable breeder, is a very healthy little dog, according to our vet.
