It is a tough decisions- I would probably say NO at this point. Its not the point of supporting a bad breeder, since you aren't paying for it. I have two Yorkies from BYB's. They are from a situation where a very nice girl thought it was okay for her two to have a litter (or two, obviously). I deal every day with the health problems associated with this kind of breeding. You have to consider that this could be an issue in the future, both of mine came home appearing very healthy and the vets thought they were very healthy for months with one, years with the other, until the health problems started to emerge. So this has to be something you are willing to deal with in the future. I was actually offered a free Yorkie a few weeks ago and turned it down because the next time I take one on, I want to know I have found the best and have the best chance of it being healthy. And I have seen first hand how expensive "free" puppies can be. But really its up to you- if you go into it knowing there may be health or behavior problems and you are ready to take on the challenge, go for it.
