They are "mixes" all right. PIT BULL MIXES. LOL
People go on and on about "over population" but the fact is these shelters, pounds, etc are mainly full of pitbulls and pitbull mixes and having had a pitbull before they are simply not for everyone. They have the capability of doing a lot of damage, they are extremely smart, determined, and tenacious for better or worse. Breeding is extremely important and you really need to know where these dogs came from, and temperament history before you bring them into your home, especially if you live with children and other animals or densely populated places.
Purebred yorkies end up homeless and in rescues every now and then but they are mostly surrendered from elderly/dead owners, people who cannot afford expensive medical conditions, puppy mill confiscations, etc. And when they are available they are snapped up right away if they are purebred and in good shape/well bred. All that has been left when I have looked are extremely elderly dogs, sick dogs, deformed dogs, and questionable mixes.
