I am anything but a BYB. I take great pride in the care that I give to my Yorkies, all four of them. All of my animals are seen by a vet routinely. They are up to date on vaccinations, heart guard and yearly health checks. I stand by my decision to breed my Yorkies. And when I do, I follow standard procedure and give great care to the expecting mother and puppies before during and after whelping.
You take a look at the link below defining "BYB" topics 4, 5, 6 and 7 and than you take a look at topics 9, 10, 11 and 12 on what a Responsible Breeder does. Than you view my web site... you will soon come to realize that I am NOT what you say that I am . I take great offence to you even saying so.
I cant even express how much I am disgusted by your comment right now!! Maybe instead of sitting on your high horse you should take the time to look into someones profile and into whatever information is available before you put your two cents worth in... How to Identify a Backyard Breeder or Puppy Mill Vs. a Good and Reputable Breeder | eHow.com |
I think this is a rather poor article explaining the difference between a reputable breeder and a backyard breeder, while it does have some valid points It states:

Backyard breeders many also have several dogs housed together in small runs or kennels. They treat their dogs as livestock, when they can no longer breed they are often taken to animal shelters, sent to rescues, dumped in rural areas or sold to research labs.

This sounds more like a puppymill to me, and when people call someone a backyard breeder, I don't think they think you are MEAN to your dogs, just that you aren't breeding for the right reasons.
Also, this statement suggesting that backyard breeders neuter dogs to prevent others from making money is ludicrous. Reputable breeders always, spay and neuter their breeding dogs before rehoming; to do otherwise is unconscionable.

They may even spay or neuter their breeders in order to prevent anyone else from making any money off of THEIR dogs.

I believe this chart has a better discription of backyard breeders verses reposnsible breeders.
