| rude people I stopped to get gas this afternoon and saw a couple of yorkies in the car next to me. I asked the gentleman if they raised yorkies and he said yes. He said they had over 16 in the back of the car. I asked if they sold them and he told me to talk to his sister when she came back out. I asked the lady if she had any for sale and she told me they were real expensive. I told her I know because I have one and wanted another. she asked where I was from and when I told her locally she said she couldn't sell me one. The whole conversation was weird. I couldn't figure out what she was up to. Her brother told me he was catching a ride back to Delaware from down South. Do you think she was buying yorkies down south and taking them to Delaware to sell? |

| That's definitely some sort of scam or something. The fact that you couldn't get a straight answer out of her or anything......dishonest people make me so angry. They were up to something all right. |

| Yes, perhaps they run a Yorkie sort of puppy mill. 16 in the car at once? I'm willing to bet they get a better price up in the DC area rather than down south. Very shady, stay away! |

| Oh my goodness....Those poor Yorkies!!! Just remember, what goes around comes around! I know this sounds nuts, but did you get their licence plate by chance just incase you maybe had to call the animal walfare agency or something. Somthing was defiantley not right about that entire situation. How did the Yorkies look? Were they real young? Look healthy and happy by chance? This world has gone mad with people like this!!!!! I pray for them all. |
