Some people get carried away and maybe without realizing it post hurtful things about our 'pet quality' furbabies.

There does seem to be a strong mindset among some, that all yorkies should be perfect. if that were the case and only perfect yorkies were bred, the cost for yorkies would double or tripple.
I understand that the ideal situation would be to keep the breed perfect, but that's not gonna happen. They puppy mills are pouring poor quality yorkie into the market wevery day, and the unfortunate souls that can't afford to buy the perfect yorkie are falling victim to them.
I know I will take a whipping for this, but:
IMO if there were more pet quality yorkies being produced by honest small or (BYB as some of you refer to them) it might do more to put the rlarge puppy mills out of business then all the legislation that is out there.
Some people just want a yorkie, they don't care if it's doesn't have the perfect coat. And those are the ones that get taken by the puppy mills.
I personally would like to see an ad that stated this yorkie is not going to be perfect but it will give you just as much love as any show dog.
