I researched, I’m not the luckiest person in the world, and I just was so afraid of getting a genetically ill puppy, that I researched until I found a breeder that met and exceeded my expectations. Everyone told me I’d never find a breeder who was breeding to “improve the breed” not for money, and it was difficult. Yorkies weren’t my only choice, I love Cairn Terriers and Maltese as well, and I wrote and spoke with many different breeders before I came upon Joey’s breeder. I don’t want to say what won me over, too many back yard breeders learn to "talk the talk", but I’m thoroughly convinced that she tried her best to breed healthy dogs that were wonderful examples of the breed. I think if you ever experience a genetically ill puppy you will understand the importance of only supporting breeders who are breeding for the right reasons. I really hate the fact that so many people think anyone can be a breeder, and they bring a dog into this world that has so little chance for a good life. Many byb's also don't care where there offspring goes or if they are bred and this really upsets me.
