As a prospective Yorkie owner who has been researching now for about six months and who plans to buy directly from a breeder when I am ready in the next few months. This site along with books has been sohelpful for me in understanding what to look for and what to be wary of. I am someone who didn't know that the dreaded 'teacup' term is a no no until i looked at the AKC standard. It now upsets me greatly to see that so many breeders advertise teacups and charge over $2,000 for them... Some folks are looking that small carry everywhere dog... But they don't realize the health risks... What is sad is that some of these folks see the Yorkie or other toy breed as an accessory and not a living breathing being...
I've leanred much here and when I go on the hunt for my Yorkie male I will take a lot of knowledge with me! It's thanks to great people like yourselves!
Thank You! |
