Hi Bronco, I am so sorry to hear about your bad experience. I also live in MA and was searching for a Yorkie for many, many months. I soon realized that the only way we would find an honest breeder was to go through the YTCA.org. They have breeder referrals for most states and MA does have four very reputable breeders. We contacted each of them and because none of them were expecting pups when we were ready, we found a breeder in CT also from the YTCA referral listing. It was only a two hour ride for us but we did find the sweetest Yorkie and a wonderful breeder.
Good luck in your search.
Anna
