Just for the record..I'm not following the crowd. I want to thank you as well for bringing this up as people need to be aware that there are many good breeders and bad breeders out there. Everyone needs to take great care in searching for a pup. Nobody wants to be part of encouraging puppy mills.

My concern was that we loose our objectivity. The big word was the
" may be". I would hate for a new person interested in the breed to see the words Credit Card/ Internet etc. and make as assumption that may not be true. My other concern was that I do not want a new pet owner to think anything that might go wrong with their puppy is the breeders fault and therefore the breeder is a puupy mill.

We should give suggestions to folks on some of the things to look for, and ask when interviewing a breeder. It would be informative to tell new owners some of the health issues and habits that yorkies have and what to look for. Notice I said interviewing in a previous statement - you have all the power -you can walk out the door and go elsewhere for a puppy. You should place as much time and research into the purchase of your new puppy as you would for any major purchase.
