the actual breeder is in Brazil. I don't think authorities here in Canada can do much but I wonder how much ruckus can be raised with the Brazilian authorities. Allegedly this breeder also sells via Florida which I don't know again how much US/Florida authorities would get involved.
And I would sure like the brokers here importing these poor waifs and selling them here in my area to be investigated.
Unfortunately, the legality of this is rather cloudy but it certainly shows buyer beware and don't support this type of operation.
If you read all the claims on the websites involved in these dog selling businesses, people may think they are getting somethign 'special' in these Brazilian Yorkies and are paying big prices for claims that are not quite up to par to the breed standard of the Yorkie and are getting pups raised with a lot of dogs.
