Here are some thoughts on some of the sites/breeders you mentioned:

buymyyorkie.com
$5000.00 for a Yorkie? Hmmm....I question anyone who purposely breeds to get a 2 pound Yorkie...waaay to small IMO. USDA license raises a red flag--means the dogs cannot be kept in the home of the breeder.

show-mepuppies.com
Way too many different breeds being bred. Ships pups at 8 weeks-way too young. (Most respected breeders agree 12 wks is the minimum age a pup should leave mom and littermates.)

bridgescreekkennel.com
Several different breeds. Also, they are mixing breeds as they advertise "Shorkies". I counted and they have 20 breeding Yorkie moms alone...not counting all of the other breeds they claim to have. That is WAY too many dogs...this place reeks of puppy mill. They list their dogs as having 'Ch Pedigrees' (none of which appear to be AKC recognized) but they are all 5 and 6 generations back--which means that they attribute little if anything at this point.

tonyastinycompanions.com
MANy (at least 10) different breeds of dogs being bred, more if you include the cross bred ones ("Puggles" and "Doxie-Poos"), currently shows 20 different available pups--this place also reeks of puppy mill
