Like someone else wrote, she ALL her puppys in the house, however she has tons, breeds very small yorkies if she can, and the puppys are all on one room, she acts like she just loves them but if you really take a look and listen you would know she was a BYB if you were educated (which I wasn't  ) |
The same can be said for shipping a puppy. If there aren't any YTCA or other reputable breeders nearby, don't rule out shipping a puppy. The few extra hundred dollars it costs now is much less than the vet bills you may pay down the road of you get a puppy from a backyard breeder.
