The reason I don't say I am necessarily a "BREEDER" is because that was not my intent with my babies...but after the first litter, I enjoyed them so much that I decided not to fix him just yet. My babies are VERY WELL cared for and couldn't be loved any more than they are. The pups are loved and cared for equally. If that is the definition of a "BACKYARD BREEDER" than I guess I am guilty! I was not going to return to this website, but considering that everyone is not so cocky and opinionated about matters they are not educated about, I will enjoy the friendships that I make here. Thanks for your comment!

Please don't let rude comments bother you. There some real snobs about breeding and they don't seem to know how to be nice. I would buy from you in a hot minute!

OK - if you want to see a backyard breeder, come on down to southwest missouri and after you see these you'll never make the mistake again. Stuck in a singlewide trailer with no heat, no air stacked in cages one on top of another with the ones on top pooping and peeing on the ones below them. Sometimes they get fed, sometimes they don't. Some have no legs, no eyes, but as long as they can reproduce, they are kept. They are NEVER held, except to give shots and to breed. They are dirty, never groomed and run in circles over and over.

It's terrible someone would assume another is a backyard breeder - shame on you.

Is that what a backyard breeder is? I hate to see what a puppymill looks like ...

Sad, very sad.

The only difference between a backyard breeder and a puppymill is that a puppymill is on a much bigger scale. The backyard breeder has only so much room to breed dogs so they compact them as much as they can. Same level of abuse, same horrible conditions....

I agree, and I also think that it's the level of care that they receive. IMO someone who is a backyard breeder may not have a huge kennel or breed hundreds of dogs, but they don't love the dogs and give each one attention, it's simply for the money. They are just kept caged or kenneled 24/7, and never allowed to enjoy the freedom of being a spoiled baby.

Hi Kelly,

Good luck with your puppy search! It can be really hard and so tempting to buy a sweet little one...just be sure to do your homework. Yorkies have several health issues that can be very expensive to treat to downright life threatening. There is a wealth of information on YT that you cannot find in books.

Also if you get some spare time please visit Puppymills - Information about puppy mills and how to shut them down.. WARNING very sad but unfortunately a reality even for our precious Yorkies. Anyone advertising they are U.S.D.A. certified please do not do business with them and never buy from a pet store.
