| YORKIEPUP.COM -puppy mill is retiring!!! I was taken advantage of by yourpup.com and Steven 's brother (Jeff) has this puppy mill- yorkiepup.com. Jeff is going out of business. That is awesome!!!! Hope it is true and he is not just openning up another one. Anyway I just wanted to spread the news. The older dogs on the site that he is calling rescues look so sick. One less puppy mill!!!!!!!!! |

| It is on his website!!!!!! He is taking offers on his site for pups. Just hope he is not going to open up another one. Look on the puppy and adult dog section. Last edited by hearttx; 10-17-2009 at 07:44 PM. |

| Those dogs all look so sick! All of those people buying those dogs are going to be in for a huge nightmare when they get them home.

| I believe his brother has a place very close to there. Not positive about that, but I think so. So....I honestly would not hold out much hope. I am not even going to look at that site....I cannot hack it.

| My guess is that the heat is on and he is doing this because he is forced to. I have seen people do things like that when forced to by the authorities, and then move on to begin in another location. This way there are no charges...I will bet he has been paid a visit. I hope I am wrong.

| If this goes through we can thank a member here on YT for really putting the pressure on certain people and getting other people to tell their story and making this happen. Lets hope this ends their reign of terror to the yorkie world.

| I'm sad to say that I purchased Yuko from this website. I'm new to yorkies and did not even know about mills. I saw the site and was the closest to where I live. I purchased the puppy for my daughter who has been asking for one since last year. I'm so glad Yuko's check up went well. |

| It makes me sad to look at those puppies. They all are cute in their own way and deserve a special home! They didn't choose that type of life! It's like some of them cant even sit up though or hold their heads up....it's quite sad! I don't even know why I looked!!

| I am praying that this is true. And not just Jeff but his Brother Steve will shut down and surrender these poor dogs. This has been a constant battle for lots of members of YT since 2006. I think the best thing we can do is stay tight as a group, and please if you have witnessed or purchased from this Mill, tell your story, dont be afraid. We are all here to help. I believe the laws are getting better for animal rights. Again, I pray that this Puppy Mill has been shut down for good. |
