However IMHO the breed is going downhill and unless you buy from a show breeder you often wind up with a weird looking yorkie. All you have to do is read this forum and almost daily someone is posting a picture of a puppy asking if it is a full yorkie. I would hate going places and being asked over and over what type of dog I have and then getting told it's not a yorkie. With a mix there is no standard, I wanted a cute healthy dog and that's what I wound up with. I know some will say that mixes are ruining the breed, but that is only if dishonest breeders are involved, I bought from someone that did not try to pass my future pet off as a purebred. So I guess you could say that for me I preferred a mix over an off standard odd looking yorkie.
I often wonder where you all think someone should go that wants a yorkie type puppy but in the price range of around $500.00 |
I have always been told a good breeders reason to breed is to better the breed and sense mixes are not a breed breeding them is not dong that so a good breeder would never breed mixes but a bad breeder will breed pures as well as mixes and the non yorkie looking yorkies are coming from the bad breeders so if we support them by buying there mixes there still gonna stay in business selling there non breed standard dogs. Hope that was understandable its been a very long day.
