| NJ people looking for a Yorkie Warning... Hi guys. I know that there were a couple of people here from Jersey, looking for a Yorkie. The local Asbury Park Press classifieds has a woman from Howell advertising Yorkies and Yorkie Poos with a number starting with 732-370. PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM HER!! She is no more than a puppymill. She has numerous complaints, and her dogs are kept in filthy conditions. Not to mention that in some instances she buys from the Amish and sells them as her own. Most will come to you sick and all will be much bigger then the standard. I have two that came from her. My oldest is ten years old and he has a collapsing trachea and bad hips and is on the neurotic side plus weighs in at 12 pounds. My two year old was sold as a Yorkie with papers and turned out to be a Yorkie Poo who weighs in at 16 pounds. Our vet also believes she was beaten. Her Yorkies are sold fairly cheap so it attracts buyers but please please do not buy from her. |

| THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I had actually heard about her and how she has inexpensive yorkies. I appreciate the heads up as I'm still looking. Thanks! I have heard the horros of Amish puppy mills. I've never seen then for myself, although I did visit an Amish farm a long time ago and saw the condtions of their baby cows. I haven't eaten veal since. I was actually shocked the first time I heard about their puppymills, you would think such Godly people would treat animals better. |

| question I was reading your thread and was wondering what type of behaviors your dog has as you described as "neurotic"? I bought a young yorkie from a breeder and she does not display normal behavior. i.e.: shakes uncontrolably during car rides. Runs from me when I call her. Always cowers down to me and others. I just don't think after having her for 5 weeks, she should respond this way. Just comparing to the three other yorkies that I have had. If you want you can pm me. Thanks |
