It's sad but not all people who breed yorkies think of the parent dogs as pets they would keep if they didn't produce puppies. She was going to be used for breeding, but at least the breeder didn't use her to breed because the LP could have been passed on to her puppies. I'm just glad she wasn't sold off to an unsuspecting buyer who thought they were getting a completely healthy young dog. The breeder could have done a lot worse to her than to give her to a rescue where she could find a good home. Actually, I don't know if there were any fees the rescue had to pay for her or if there were any other circumstances as to why Sparrow was given up just after she turned one year old.
