It seems this continual posting in defense of Pet Stores and Brokers is maybe more of a game on this site by certain persons/people ...than it is an effort to educate people -
Anyone who could defend Puppies being brokered out and RE-SOLD just for a higher price must not love them as much as the caring Breeders AND yorkie lovers in the world. I can't think of one single person I know who would ever defend Brokers and Pet Stores.... yet this same conversation keeps popping up...
For anyone NEW who may be reading this and gets confused - the whole idea of getting a new yorkie is to find a breeder you FEEL COMFORTABLE with -
Be VERY wary of Brokers - Any Broker - you are setting yourself up for a world of hurt...they do NOT buy from reputable breeders so you have no idea what you're really getting - a broker wants the sale..that's it.
They do NOT care that there may be a possible health problem in a year - they do NOT care that the mom and dad may have passed genetic traits to the puppy that will cause suffering to both the puppy and you - Brokers really don't care where your puppy came from - It is NOT a referal service - it's a profit business to them - nothing more.
