You are correct in some of what you say. But in the Yorkie breeding the damage has been done by bakcyanrd and unethical breeders not show people.
You should attend a YTCA meeting sometime to hear about all the efforts that they are working on for healthier dogs and improving with each litter.
I am sure there are some sucky breeders, but for the most part YTCA is seeing to fit that we don’t have deformed, can’t walk pups. I am blessed to be around breeders who love their dogs and love the breed above all. And they take very good care of their dogs.
