| On looking at their website, I see red flags. Paypal is not a good idea to buy a puppy from someone using Paypal. Also if you look on their About Us page they say they bring the puppies in the house to hand raise. Bring them in from where? Where are the mothers? They should be doing the raising. There is nothing about sires and dams of puppies. According to these ads http://www.nextdaypets.com/directory...id/246109.aspx they are selling these puppies from all appearances of the ads, at 8 weeks. That is too young. They also claim they will be 5 -6 lbs. There is no way they can say that with pups that age. If you go to their guarantee page on their website they say they guarantee for congenital things up to a year. Nothing mentioned about genetic problems, no mention of a guarantee there.

| Another red flag, pricing according to sex (which a lot of breeders do, sell females for a higher price; supply and demand) size BIG RED FLAG- leads me to believe they're pricing smaller/tinies at a higher price......

| I am new to breeding and not sure about the Pay Pal reference but have seen a couple people mention it as a red flag. I have it on my site to offer the customer the option to put the deposit down on the puppy with it. I am not sure why that is a red flag to some. The one thing I dont see on the site is pictures of parents and the pedigrees. That is something I look for when I go to a website and look at dogs. That is just my opinion tho. |

| I forgot to say that I like it when a breeder takes the time to shave a puppies ears so they have a chance to stand up. I dont care much for the floppy ears on a yorkie. Another opinion. |
