All my yorkies are pets. I think all these dogs need to be socialized and loved. Can't imagine putting them aside and just using them for breeding only. This sounds cruel. I don't let mine out of their crate all the time but i let them all out in my livingroom usually on my couch for snuggling and playing , they also get gated in my kitchen. I only have 5 yorkies and they are pretty much housebroken except for the 4month old pup which is almost housebroke. My two older girls get to run the house but the boys and the puppy have to stay in the kitchen unless i'm sitting on the couch playing with them, I usually keep them on a skedule and they have playtime and naptime, which is my time to clean.
