THis in no way is directed to anyones individual posts or experiences at all.
I think there are circumstances where breeders are blamed for things they might not be responsible for.
Such as temperament. If a puppy leaves at 3 months to a new home and a breeder is contacted at 9 or 10 months by a purchaser and they say the puppy is mean, shy, anxiety filled, difficult to train is it the fault of the breeders? Once they leave, how is one really to know for certain what conditioning they recieved the several months at their new home? SInce they have spent more months at their new home then their birth home, they would have developed alot from there.
Or health conditions. If parents do not have conditions such as luxating patella or legg perthes, but puppy develops it. Is it without a doubt the breeders fault? What if a puppy was seen at Vet ER on Christmas day for an injury and two weeks later they were diagnosed with legg perthes or luxating patella. Is the breeder responsible for bad breeding? What if the vet told them it is absolutely genetic and its the breeders fault. Would this be a true statement? What if a puppy has tracheal collapse, have they been walked with a collar, is it the breeders fault?
I think the majority of breeders who breed for a long period of time, even doing the best they know, will have puppies leave hopefully very rarely that are not 100% in sometime in their life. There are so many problems that can happen, so many health conditions, maybe people are unhappy of their yorkies look, or size. There are so many thing people can decide to be shorted about so its bound to happen. ANd sometimes they are shorted and not treated right. ANd health guarantees are not honored and breeders are not honest. That is always a good recipe for a bad circumstance.
I guess its a matter of two sides to a story, theory and real truth, what truly is the fault of the breeder and what is the fault of the purchaser. SOmetimes really hard to figure out, sometimes clear as a blue sky.
I know the more I spent for a yorkie the better a guarantee I would want. $3000 is alot of money to spend, alot of money to me, I would be looking darn near for perfection there!

Anyway Im rambling, and its just some things I have thought about.

Breeding can get very complicated.
