That's why it's so important to keep trying to reach potential buyers when they come looking for info on YT. Try and save them before they buy from all these puppy mills, BYB, etc..

I've seen plenty of yorkies on here that don't fit the standard either, plus there's not such thing as an ugly yorkie. |
This gets me too! You know every puppy is adorable. Then when they grow to be adults, they aren't the size or look the way they wanted them to or have health issues because they bought from a bad breeder.
Camden didn't even look like a Yorkie when we got her, she was a mess. She would have been deemed "ugly" and most would have walked by her in a shelter. Most of them just need a good grooming & proper vet care and love!
I wish I could foster, but we have three and I'm not in a position to do so.
It's heart breaking though. I wish people would pay attention to this problem more!
