I have a really bad feeling about this. It seems that Britney and her boyfriend went over to Star Yorkie in Vegas to look at a "Micro Diamond Yorkie" that supposedly "will never weigh more than 2 pounds"... Disgusting. The puppy pictured in the article even LOOKS unhealthy! According to the review some Yorkietalkers did on Star Yorkie over on this thread, it appears that Star Yorkie was all but proven to be an untruthful puppy broker who sells unhealthy and imported puppies. I truly hope that this purchase doesn't actually happen because if it does, I feel that this puppy broker will get even more sales and recognition due to a celebrity having one of their pups. In addition, the extra attention towards the breed could cause even more irresponsible breeders to breed more Yorkshire Terriers because there will likely be a spike in demand for the pups (especially "tcup" ones) if a Yorkie is seen with a celebrity all the time. What do you all think? I got pretty alarmed when reading this article, so I just thought I'd share it and my thoughts.
