Their business is fishy at best. I was browsing the web and saw quite a few warning signs:
1) Commercial breeder
2) They specialize in tea-cups, in multiple breeds. I emailed them about their lifespan, and they simply side-stepped the question.
3) Their registry is KDF (Korean Dog Federation) instead of AKC/Canadian CKC. I can't find any reference to KDF anywhere-- suspicious.
4) Cannot see their parents (their FAQ says "they're in Korea")
5) Take credit card and will ship the pet to you directly without any question
6) "I have puppies available all the time", "Puppies are available all the time."

Puppy mill? Maybe. Quality? Not likely. Legal? Probably. Unfortunately, the law protects first and foremost *businesses*.
