I would prefer to buy from a breeder who cared enough about their puppies' ultimate welfare to place a chip and have both of us registered for contact, just in case. To me that shows a caring and responsibility to the breed they perpetuate far beyond health, conformation or dollars. It shows they care about my dog. Breeders with this level of caring will not sell a Yorkie to just anyone who calls to buy but place their pups very carefully in truly caring homes; and if all breeders were like them, there would be far fewer animal health and welfare issues in our country. |
