| Puppy mill or not? I asked earlier but i didnt give enough information on where Marley came from. The web site I found him on was puppyfind.com but the warrenty that the woman sent me was from "lone pine Pets" you can search it on the web and the website will come up. http://www.puppies-puppies.com/ or you can just click on the link. No matter where Marley came from I'm giving him the best home ever I was just curious! He's my baby! I'm so happy to have him as a part of my family! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Congratulations on your puppy - I don't think you dealt with a mill but I'm no expert. It SOUNDS like you got your baby from a Broker and Lone Pine Pets is probably a Kennel - Some Kennels are bad news too just like mills - but I guess it's all in what people choose to think is bad. This part would bother me if I were looking for a puppy and this was on their website....... Cross Breeds Maltepoo (Maltese/Poodle) Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel/Poodle) Puggles (Pug/Beagle) Goldendoodles (Golden Retriever/Standard Poodle) Now.......About those GoldenDoodle's..... What on earth are they thinking making THAT sound like a breed ? Some of these new names are just cracking me up. What a shame they're making a profit off what used to be called an accident.

| Well, if that is the same place that is run by a Kenneth & Norma VanDuesen/VanDusen and I believe it is, then you can read about it here: http://www.nopuppymills.com/forum/sh...t=14615&page=2

| Yes sad, but let me tell ya, here near the california border, I live in Nevada. They call Mutss, "Designer dogs". Infact funny names, "Dorkie" (Dachsund & Yorkie) or "Porkie" (Poodle and Yorkie). I can't believe what people pay either. LIke I said earlier in our area, it is a steal to get a purebred Yorkie under $2000. It is just unheard of. Here though you have only two places, or a two hour drive to another 6. The two here, only breed once a year. (Per Dam) So there really isn't a big Yorkie population, I have only seen one other. Wow, I went off subject. But can you imagine telling someone you paid $2500 for a Porkie? More like $2500 for a mutt! |

| When they have many dogs like they have , the chances that pups have their vaccinations is mostly from 0 to none . I would have Marley check by your vet . |

| well just to make you feel better, I am not quite sure of the conditions that i bought Dollar in either...I was naive at the time and just bought on impulse. I love him tho and glad that he is now safe. It was a mistake not to be made again. But no one is perfect.
