I hate seeing "Wanted Free teacup Yorkie", but I also think there are excellent homes out there that can't afford to pay outrageous prices, but can still provide a quality home and vet care.

While I agree with the puppy mill remark, how many potential breeders would purchase a breeding male/female from a pet store??? I think the odds are very low one would use that avenue just for breeding rights.

My take on the article was be responsible when placing your pups. The breed standard is a clear blueprint and one that every breeder should strive toward, if it doesnt fit dont breed it or sell it for breeding!
