Perhaps a course in ethics should be required for breeders. Just because one CAN produce an off standard dog for a few hundred bucks doesn't mean they should.
To me, "poor people can get 1000 for a Yorkie. Why wouldn't they do it for the money?" is like saying "Poor people can get $100 for a Kilo, so why not produce it?" Money isn't an excuse for doing wrong.
The fault likes evenly in both camps; breeders and buyers.
