HOWEVER there are many genetics going into one litter, and sometimes there are pups born that are NOT show quality, in which case, yes they are sold as pets, on a limited registration. NO "show breeder" is breeding FOR pets, unless they are as unscrupulous as the BYB or miller down the road. But, on the other hand, don't be fooled as so many are, into thinking that just because someone shows, or says they show, that they have BETTER dogs, or should be trusted MORE, there are many puppymillers hiding behind a show bow, check references, check with the YTCA, do your homework before ever buying a yorkie puppy, but most important, research and understand the standard, and what health issues to be aware of, and what testing to ask for. |
