| Green Acres Farms in Tn Hello I am mostly a lurker, and I am the proud owner of 2 yorkie mixes I got as rescues from a puppy mill. I am looking to add a third to my pack. I wanted to get a puppy from a breeder this time. I don't support the puppy mills or byb, as I know better and I wanted to make sure I don't make a wrong move. I have emailed them for initial contact an questions trying to follow the questions her... they would want to keep the puppy for 12 weeks and the other answers seem to follow the proper answers. But has anyone here heard of them or got a puppy from them. Thanks |

| I have not heard of them and nothing on thier website "screams" at me... but I just think in my opinion, I would keep looking. I guess I am just bothered by the different breeds they breed and the fact that they do not give enough information for me to get a good feeling about them. not saying anything negative because I have no first hand knowledge of them... just if it was ME.... I would have to pass.

| I do not personally know them or have bought a dog from them but I do know one Biewer club kicked them out of the club for poor breeding practices. I would not purchase from them.

| I have never heard of them or dealt with them. However, there are a few things on their Q&A I don't agree with with. "Our puppies are all sold current on their shots. They get their first shot at approximately 5 weeks, second at 7 l/2 weeks and are usually sold at around 8 weeks" They also sell with breeding rights. I wouldn't purchase from them, but that is just me. I would keep searching. |

I don't know the breeder you are asking about. But I've read enough to see it's not a place to get a puppy from. You want a nice puppy. You deserve one, don't you? One with a mom and dad that are loved and cared for. Cher is in Ohio. I can't say that she will allow you a puppy. But it won't hurt to start there. She's Goldenray here on YT and you can ask about her for reviews all the same. She won't mind one, I'm sure. | |

| I can see two things right away that I don't like. 1. They start shots at 5 weeks old!! Puppies should have their first set of shots around 8weeks old, any sooner and it isn't effective as they still have the antibodies from their momma's milk. 2. They sell with Full Registration only, never limited!! They obviously don't have the puppies well being in mind if they are selling full registration to anyone who will pay.

| First welcome & congrats on your babies! I've never heard of this breeder, but their website has enough red flags that I wouldn't even consider them if I were looking for a puppy! 1. advertise tcups/micro 2. Too many breeds. If you go to the testimony section, people have bought mixed breeds & other breeds that aren't listed like chinese crested, papillon. 3. Always FULL registration 4. usually sell puppies at 8 weeks 5. heated/air conditioned kennel JMO! Good luck, you should consider checking with YTCA for a breeder in your area!
