For those of you looking in or around New Jersey for your puppy. I've included a link to the NJCAPSA Site - Consumers Against Pet Shop Abuse. They list MANY New Jersey Breeders/Brokers to stay away from. Below is the Link and then I've also copy and pasted NJ Breeders/Brokers listed on the site. http://www.njcapsa.org/

Noel came from this breeder. She is a 17 pound mixed breed that was sold as a pure bred Yorkie. This place is FILTHY. It took two weeks to get the stench out of Noel. It is my understanding that she not only breeds but also buys from the Amish and sells as her own. Don't let the pictures on her site fool you. If you buy from her what you will get is a dog with parasites, genetic problems and possibly not even a pure bred and you can bet it will take weeks to get the smell off of them. The smell is so bad you will have to drive with the windows down. She often advertises in the Asbury Park Press.

It took me months to find a breeder. I looked online and then went to the Yorkshire terrier Clubs. Don't go out and think your going to get a dog the same day or month. It takes time to find a good breeder that is also looking out for the dogs that he or she is selling. The breeder I bought my guy from won't sell to people that have small children.


I came in contact with brokers that sent me photos of the puppies just so I would fall in love with them. I wont buy it.
