| I checked out his website, and I would not buy from him. First of all, it states on the "Yorkie Parents" page that "all yorkie moms are under 3 lbs." He should NOT be breeding a yorkie this small. HUGE red flag!!! He advertises "teacups", and there is no such thing. He has mixed breeds, and bengal cats. Bengal cats are beautiful, but I don't think I'd have them if I was breeding small dogs. I didn't notice any contracts or guarantees, but I didn't look much further once I saw the things I mentioned above.

| Puppy Miller all signs point to a puppy mill. You'd have to be crazy to buy from this jerk, jmho... Don't you get Oprah where you live??? PLEASE do you homework, and AVOID this guy. You will not be saving a puppy...you will be dooming it's mother to a horrible life as she will be forced to reproduce again to replace the "babay" you are buying. If no one bought these pups, the puppy millers would find another crop and stop breeding the dogs. Now you know what is up with this breeder, and it is a sin if you go ahead and buy from this guy. I do rescue, and I am the one who deals with this guys "products" when things go south with the pups they sell. I AM BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE RECONSIDER BUYING THIS PUPPY... PLEASE SEE MY WEBSITE FOR MORE EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION ON PUPPYMILLS AND YORKIES IN GENERAL. I'll even try to help you get a pup from a responsible ETHICAL breeder. Sue & Cricket Quote:

I Love Thor Donating Member | Yorkies Poodles and MORE? No way hunnie that rings so many bells and I haven't even looked at his website. I hate this for you but please pull out of this!!!! You will be so much more happy in the long run! |

I Love Thor Donating Member | I just wanted to add: Please do not buy from him, I am begging you. I will personally help you find a good breeder, or whatever you want help with...There is so much good information on this site and I am so glad you found us. I hope just in time. Please keep us updated on your decision. No one here means to hurt your feelings, just want to save you from heartache, and save you from contributing to puppy mills. There are many people here (including myself) who have gotten a dog from a puppy mill or backyard breeder who didn't know any better but regret ever supporting that kind of 'business'. If there is anything I or we can do to help you...even calling that jerk, pretending to be you, canceling, whatever it is. Your YT family is amazingly supportive, and there are many shoulder to lean on through this process, but I just hope you have a chance to get out now! |

| I agree with the previous posters and as a side note if you scroll down on his homepage he says he sells bengal cats and then he has a picture of a leopard. what is up with that???

| I would avoid him at ALL COSTS! He says on one page that he breeds yorkies, poodles, and boxers. And breeding dogs under 3 pounds? He is out to make money...I can assure you the "health" of his dogs mean nothing... He's a puppy miller...through and through... |
