| Puppy Mill warning!!! I just had this banner add on my gmail account and it makes me angry but I don't know what to do about it Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale, AKC Teacup Yorkies, Yorkie Puppies, Dogs, Pennsylvania I am pretty sure this is a puppy mill, selling all kinds of poor little dogs all advertised as 'teacup' there are 14 different breads available all shipped to you for $250!!! In time for Christmas. I am really sad about this and I want to let everyone on this forum know so maybe we can find a way to warn people. |

| There was a story this morning on the Today Show about these types of puppy mills. I can't recall the name of this parent corp, but they sell every breed, farming them out via "breeders" across the states. There have been sick puppies sent as well as ones who died within weeks of the owner receiving them. Wish I could recall the name, but I'm sure it's readily available through NBC's website. If you're buying purebred yorkies, be sure you get solid quality references, like from the fine folks here before you buy. Please don't just trust any ole website just because it looks good and promises good things. Caveat Emptor! |

| puppy mills The owner of the site on the Today Show was called Purebred Breeders. I went on their site to check it out and it is disgusting. All different types of puppies and dogs that ship all over the country, sick or not. Very expensive too. These dogs are from puppy mills. The corporation is based in Florida with employees that are coached on what to say. Beware of puppy mill breeders. |

| If only there was a way to stop these horrible people. I think that the company you're talking about is the Hunte Corporation, that is where a great many puppy mill babies come from. Special place in Hell for these folks
