What about all the rescue Yorkies? They aren't up to the standard but you can't just push them to the side because of what humans have done to them. I'd take a rescue Yorkie over any puppy. And I did do that...that's how I got my amazing Sophie. Sophie may not be up to the YTCA standards or even up to most of the people here. If a Yorkie was 6 weeks old and was at a shelter would you take her? Because I would. I would give her a home regardless. Sophie probably was a result of a puppy mill and she probably was overbred. She has some skin allergies but that is her only limitation. I guess she's lucky. And I do have a Yorkie puppy...I got her because I love Yorkies and wanted to raise one. And now Sophie has a friend :-) I'm just wondering what everyone here thinks of all the Yorkies who have become victims to us humans. Not just the breeders, humans in general. Because not all dogs that end up in shelters had bad breeders, some of them had bad owners. There is a difference. I'm just wondering how many of you adopted your Yorkie? I'm sure there is more than I realize.
