This thread however is not about the Parti yorkie debate so I apologies and don't want to stray off of the original topic.

Quite right, and I didn't want to steer the conversation away from the intended topic.
As such, I have to defend the breeder, who I do not know and never heard of before this thread.
I'm sorry the OP lost her Yorkie to liver shunt, but it's a known risk in the breed. We do our best to avoid it based on what we know about our lines. This is something nature can do and we don't know why. The dog was well past the breeder's health guarantee period.
I looked at Pixie Dust's web site and see nothing there that would make me think this is not a good breeder. If she's able to command such high prices for her puppies, good for her. I know someone quite reputable in my region who gets prices like that. I don't see this as a sign of a bad breeder, quite the opposite.
As for the breeder's rudeness at hearing from the OP, that could well have been a reaction to being approched in a hostile manner, in the same tone as the original post here.
