| Furious I was leaving WalMart today and saw a sign, "Yorkie puppies AKC $450". I know better than to buy this way but curiosity got the better of me so we drove over to see what the lady had. She was sitting with the back of her truck opened up and a kennel beside her. She asked me if I was looking for a "Christmas puppy"? I asked her what she had and then she pulled back a blanket to reveal two tiny puppies. Mind you that it is snowing a little and cold! I said WOW they are small, how old are they? "Just now five week" and adds "but don't worry, the vet said it would be ok. They are eating food you wet with warm water.'" Really- what vet are you using? I said "I would never buy a puppy that young!" I was good and didn't slap her with Christmas cheer and we drove away. Sadly I know someone will buy them if they don't freeze to death first. I just don't understand how people can be that way. Hope everyone here has a Merry Christmas! |

| Christmas season is a big holiday for greeders. We've got two Christmas puppies right here on YT, one is fighting for her life in the hospital, the other died last night. I assume you don't have any laws against selling puppies that young in your state? |

| If we don't have a law here in Ky against that..... we should.

| That's so sad. I'm in KY and I've heard all kinds of horror stories from horrible breeders. I usually just read the posts here but had to post on this. It's so tempting to buy the babies from the breeder just to save them. But, all you do is spur the breeders on to breed more and more. Such a sad cycle. |
