I happened to see a add in the paper for a yorkie/shih mix. I don't want to breed I was just thinking of a companion for my puppy (9 months). We love our Pippin to pieces and wanted another furball to love. Anyway, I called and I have a feeling this is a puppy mill. She doesn't want me to go to see him, she would bring him and the puppies' mom and dad to me. She finally sent me pictures and he doesn't take after a yorkie. When I told her the puppy looked more like the Shih, she said she would sell the dad. Then the more we talked she mentioned she also has a couple of chi's, and a pomerian. The more I talk to her the more I want to run the other way. But there is a part of me that wonders what kind of life the puppy and dad have now.
