Odd I am in the show rings and know many AKC show breeders. I don't see tons of crappy breeders with bad health. NOt sure which shows or where you might be talking aobut and if yours aren't shown why are you at shows or are you? Curious phenomena.
Actually chocolates can have health issues and often do.
Color test for dilute gene? Really? Never heard of that one.
I am sure there will be some people looking for wrong colour, rare whatever, or very undersized. In my considerable experience I am not usually too interested in interviewing to any extent these kind of pet owners. My preference is someone looking for a nice Yorkie who knows something about Yorkies or are more than willing to learn.
