I see what you are saying and I know what you mean. However, the good ethical breeders need to be separate from this thought. We wouldn't have shows, CH. etc. We need these wonderful breeders to give families like myself a wholesome loving healthy family companion. When I was first married I had the WORST time with a BYB... My husband and I didn't know what we know now. We also looked into rescuing a Yorkie from a shelter, rescue or re-home but most shelter and rescues say the dog doesn't like kids, has major health problems etc. I will be getting my Yorkie around Feb. from an AMAZING breeder that is recommended and I couldn't be HAPPIER!!!!!
