| Sometimes I feel like I have Great Danes according to the "buyers" that call. Just curious: Are there as many byb'rs that are just in it for the $$ in Europe like there are here? How about puppy mills? |

| A breeder who violates the breed club's rules is either unaware of the YTCA or doesn't care. Either way, it's a huge red flag. |

| and some vets are idiots. I continually hear "my vet said it would be fine to breed my 3lb female" or "my vet said its okay to bring my yorkie puppy home at 6 week"...NO IT IS NOT! Those vets must no absolutely nothing about toy breed dogs. Vets are not breed experts and people need to remember this. Reputable yorkie breeders keep their puppies until at least 12 weeks of age

I do not have many litters but just had our last yorkie litter. I was shocked at the calls of how big are they going to be and will they be teacups. Well right there I get the angry tone and say "there is no such thing as a teacup and you are calling the wrong place" the bad thing about that is one lady called and asked how big will they be and I already got my speech going as she interupted me and said she wanted a puppy that would be over 5lbs. I felt like the idiot ! She and her daughter bought one of the pups and it was a good thing. This litter has awesome new families and I am so so happy for the joy my babies are bringing to their parents now I wonder if those that sell for size or always have puppies for sale can have the feeling I have .. | |

Below is a link to the YTCA Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics: http://ytca.org/frame_index2.html Below is the Preface: "PREFACE As a member of the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, Inc., I agree to uphold the principles of the Club’s Constitution, Bylaws, Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct and will protect the interests of the Yorkshire Terrier in a manner reflecting credit to myself, the Breed, and the Club. While understanding that the circumstances facing each individual member are different, the Codes set forth a standard of canine husbandry all Club members should strive to achieve. The Code is intended to provide each member fundamental behavior principles which will guide the Club, the Yorkshire Terrier breed and each member well in nearly all situations." If you read carefully it says this is what we should all strive for and the circumstances facing each individual member are different. These are the rules set forth to be a member of the club (which is very difficult to do). The YTCA is a wonderful organization with wonderful guidelines that we should all be striving for. I know some actual members of the YTCA that violate some of the rules regularly but I don't consider them uncaring. We do not all have to agree on every aspect of the code of ethics but we should be striving toward that. We should be guiding and not dictating. To call someone who violates one of the rules 'uncaring' is wrong and totally untrue. | |

| I prefer to buy from someone who follows all YTCA rules. I really don't understand why any reputable breeder wouldn't be following them.

| There are no perfect breeders just like there are no perfect Yorkies but we should all strive for it. What they say and what they do might be two different things. |
