 First post also!
Hi everyone! This is also my first post. I do own a Yorkie..my first..and I think her breeder was a BYB. I did watch the Oprah show..twice, as my husband recorded it for me, so I also watched it with my 27 yr old daughter. Yes, puppymills are horrific..but as was posted before..so are some show-breeder's. I would like to get another Yorkie, as my whole family really enjoys our girl Miley! I think she needs a friend..I also have a Standard Poodle that is fine with her..but she needs a friend her own size! LOL! My dilemma would be..how does one KNOW that their breeder IS ethical, with healthy puppies?? It would have been nice for Oprah to go more in-depth with what a "good breeder" is..but she did have shelter and rescue people on her show! She could have gave MORE than her measley ten grand too..I think she cared more that this show was a tribute to her recently passed Cocker, Sophie. JMHO. Thanks for having me here, I hope I can really learn a lot from everyone!
