There are good reasons to spay and neuter and good reasons not to spay and neuter. I would not label somebody as irresponsible just because their dog isn't spayed because they may have a very good reason (or just not understand).
If she was having puppies and those puppies were being sent to a shelter, that isn't right (IMO). But if she feels like medically this is a good choice for her), then that is fine too. That comes with a ton of responsibility though.
There are both benefits and risks to spaying. Personally I'm not comfortable with the possible consequences of skipping it, but everybody has to make this decision for their pups.
She probably went into heat without the owner knowing (pretty easy for Yorkies because they don't really bleed much) or there could be a hormonal problem (which is all the more reason to spay).
