If you are going to buy a Yorkie that is wonderful but make sure you do not purchase a sweet baby whose Mother will live her life in a 3X3 cage for the rest of her life without hugs and kisses and a warm bed on a cold winters night or a reassuring hug that everything will be alright.

Cricketbaby,
You have expressed yourself very well and I totally agree with you. I tend to get angry with this subject. Two and half years ago we adopted our little baby that was a mill dog, he's a yorkie and their my passion as well. Not everyday anymore, but sometimes he must have flash backs or something triggers memory and he still has mental anguish over how he had to try to survive. As long as I live I will never understand human beings and their torturing of animals just for the almighty dollar. I realize that for some seeing the puppies in the window and that need to "gotta have it now" is the decision many people make, but they need to think of the parents of these puppies before they buy. Not to mention all the health risks. We will adopt ex mill dogs again, because the rewards are astonishing. To finally get the kiss on the nose or to play with a toy for the first time. People need to be educated on this subject. My intent isn't to offend anyone either but to educate them on the horrors.
