[Rescuemomma]

I also agree it is a personal decision - just ignore those that are negative. All mine have been rescues or rehomed. But I had thought about buying one from a reputable breeder, the rescue Yorkies just seem to come into my life just when I need them to, and I do prefer rescuing to buying but that's just me. Of my 4 dogs, 1 I took from an abusive owner, one I got from a breeder but only because she had contacted Poodle Rescue with a puppy that had broken it's leg (2 of my 4 dogs are Standard Poodles), my Yorkie was rehomed by a family that decided it was best to find him a home that had more time for him - but my IG I bred myself back when I use to be very involved with showing. Her dad was in the top 10 all 3 years I showed him. So clearly - I have nothing against breeders that are doing things right and breeding to better the breed. I only have problems with breeders that breed for money and don't do all the appropriate health testing before breeding!
