The original poster may (and probably does) have the exact same emotions regarding this practice as the rest of us. I commend her on having the courage to bring it up for discussion. Many people don't think of things that could possibly go wrong when they breed their dogs, and not just yorkies. What would you do in situation when a vet wasn't readily available, and you had a newborn puppy that was obviously suffering, and would probably die on its own, but may suffer tremendously before then. I think the freezer is extreme, but really... would you want it to suffer for hours before you could get it to a vet to humanely euthanize it. I think everyone needs to stop and think about how they would feel in this situation. It is a personal, ethical issue that we each need to decide within our own morals, and not judge others for how they decide to handle the situation, as everyone and every situation is different.
