my sad story

I don't think dogs have to be AKC to go to good homes. You might get better dogs but I wouldn't worry about the homes any more that the homes of AKC dogs. Bad homes happen to good (AKC) dogs too.

I went to her website, but I see no evidence that she shows her Yorkies. In fact, most of her females have no champions in their pedigrees.

Lucky has a few champions a couple of generations back, but Baby Girl has a very unimpressive pedigree.

I'd ask more questions about her showing. She may be starting to show, but the puppy you are looking at isn't a product of it.

Did you ask her what health screening she does on her sires and dams? I'd specifically ask her how she screens for liver disease and luxating patellas. A reputable breeder should be aware of genetic conditions in her breed and be able to discuss them.
