That's great and I take if from your posts and your involvement here that you are not most breeders. But you my friend are an exception and I would assume most breeders that spend a lot of time on yorkie talk are as well. But the fact is the majority of breeders of yorkies are not on this site and while many do care about their babies and take good care of them while they have them, they do not do that much after they leave. I do have a question for you though you say that your contract states that a buyer must return a pup they can not keep, is there an age limit on that and do you offer either a partial or a full refund.
