| Questionable breeders I've notice alot of threads that are questioning about different breeders. I think you need to be leery of every one. When I was searching for my dogs, I was looking on puppydogweb.com, and then went under my state. It then lists the breeds and the breeders in your state. One thing I noticed was that sometime the same person (you can tell by the phone #) was listed under different names under different breeds. For example The Andrews in O'neil, NE have these three names for sure. Appletail yorkies, happytail papillions, and hollyhock havanese. On each of their sites they make it sound like raising that perticular breed was a life long dream of theirs and never make any mention of any of the other breeds they sell. I'm not very computer literate or i would set up links for you, but if you use a search engine you can type in each of those names and find them (they have a tripod web address). sorry I'm not more helpful here. But I'm just sending out a warning to you. Just because they have one website that only has Yorkies on it, it doesn't meen that they don't sell fifty different types of dogs and just have a site for each breed.

| Good for you and you really did your homework! Yes you do want to avoid those types of breeders and the same caution is for those checking out newspapers. If you see the same phone number under several different breeds and crosses including what you are looking for, best not to got there. |

| That's so true. I've ran across that in the past and said "hmmm" myself. One in paticular was a yorkie, chi, and bulldog breeder. All the sites were differnt, different name and didn't mention anything about the other breeds they had. |

| Wow..never thought of that. However, sometimes there is good reason to have a separate site. I am working on a separate site for my Biewers because I want to make it clear that I consider them completely separate from my Yorkies. I will not discuss them unless I am asked questions about them. If someone wants to know about Yorkies they can find me by search Yorkies in OH, eventually they can find the same for my Biewers once I get my site up. But really, this was an excellent piece of advise. I have seen Appletale and assumed all this time this was the only breed they have.. |
