Suzi is my only yorkie I have ever had. Now I do know she was from a BYB. She is very healthy and active, sweet as can be and cute. only thing is she does not meet the yorkie standard.... Too big , and has salt and pepper coloring. Not so much gold wher etheir needs to be. However, she makes for a awesome dog. nobody ever thought of her as anything but a yorkie.
I would take the puppy. Not to support any BYB practices, but to give the puppy a nice, loving, forever home. Not all BYB have unhealthy, sick pups. I think a lot of that happens if their is inbreeding going on, and the dogs are not cared ofr in the first place, being left outdoors , not ever beeing vaccinated, living in filthy condtions, and so on. So if your financially able to care for anther living creature for as long as she lives then go for it. Just remember that this pup may not fit the AKC standard , and if all your wanting is a sweet little female yorkie as a family dog , then I think it is ok. I hope your blue born maintains his health too.
