These breeders are ignoring health, temperament, and type in favor of producing a "rare" color that they can charge more for. If color is more important to you than health and temperament, buy from one of these people. If, however, getting a well-bred, healthy Yorkie is more important, buy from a YTCA-member breeder.

You don't know these breeder, how do you know that they are ignoring those things. there are show breeders who also ignore those things, and will cheat or do anything they can to get a champion, ignoring health and temperament. That swings both ways.
