Reputable breeders have smaller yorkies too; they just don't breed them, they place them as pets! Don't forget, you might be lucky enough to have your yorkie as long as 16 years, I believe it's wise to save up your money and support the best breeder who will sell to you! Also beware of breeders who say "Champion bloodlines" that's just a marketing ploy, even puppy mill pups have one champion in the background. |
I think it's important not to generalize "champion bloodlines", yes, maybe a puppy mill might have one champion in the background, but for those breeders who have pups with good multi-generational "champion bloodlines" are probably very proud of it I do think it's worth mentioning. Yes, we all know "best in show" does not equate to "best in health" but I believe (and could be wrong) someone who has generation after generation of champions probably has a good chance of having pups of higher quality, a chance I'd be willing to consider. So if a breeder has a lot of champions in their pups' background, for me, as a buyer, I'd take notice (and check it out further).
