Out of the 11 Yorkies that I have had, all but them 3 of them were Rescues I adopted.
My very first Yorkie (Spencer) was an impulse buy from a Pet Store in 1988. After I purchased I learned about puppymills. When he passed away at the age of 8, I was so distraught.
My hubby when he came on leave went and bought my Heart Girl, Lizzie for me. She came from a Flea Market, was 9 weeks old. I wish he would let me know he was going to get one. BUT I have to say she was very, very healthy. I lost her last year at the age of 15.
My one I bought from a Breeder, I waited 2 yrs for her, from teh breeder. She was 12 weeks old when I brought her home.
Never once have I ever considered being a breeder, as I know all that goes into it.
I am also a retired Vet Tech and saw many things that can go wrong with breeding.
