There are lot of yorkies that need homes, I work at an animal shelter and see them all the time but even I would not think badly of someone wanting to buy from a breeder as long as they researched a good breeder. I got my first dog from a breeder after looking at rescues for over a year and not finding what I was looking for. I say I pre-rescued him because he has lots of health issues that I am sure no one else would have put up with and the other person who wanted him was going to use him to breed. I think its a personal decision that you should not have to validate. Do what is right for you.
