That does NOT make us a bad breeder, it makes us a loving breeder and one that puts our dogs happiness always first! My dogs are spoiled, given as much attention as possible and always loved! But when they are retired (either because of their size, structure problems, etc.) they deserve a life where they have at least one playmate and a home where they can sleep on the bed every night, go on vacation and always have a loving lap to sit in and NOT have to share it with 3-4 others! Placing one of my yorkies has never been easy, but like I stated if you love them you will give them better!

I love Pat's saying...Breeders are cut from a different cloth. Many people do not understand rehoming but it does happen for various reasons.
