It seems as though the dilemma is where do you look for an healthy Yorkie if there no YTCA Breeders with puppies available and you have been unable or unwilling to find a rescue? I have learned a reputable breeder will have a limited number of litters per year. The demand for Yorkies must outweigh the availability of YTCA breeder puppies. So how does an average person find breeders? For the general public the research can be daunting and many just go with the easiest route to a puppy. In buying anything it is best to research your product and to shop for a qualified seller. And when dealing with a living creature you must be mindful that this is a lifetime commitment. Buying a sick or genetically compromised dog is no bargain. To buy a puppy from anyone who is not breeding for the betterment of the breed is foolish and a potential emotional and financial time bomb. What is great about YT is that they provide the information to enable you to do the proper research and the warnings of improper impulse buying. I think the YT breeders section is good in that it provides people with a place to go to find a breeder outside of the internet, wanted ads, craig's list etc. I know once you have found a breeder you still have to investigate their breeding practices and that you can not assume a breeder is qualified by their statements or affiliations. IMHO
