After reading for so long on here, I am wondering what you guys think about the breeder I got my dogs from. Here are the details that I have from her,her house, her pups, her dogs, etc... is this a byb? I often tell people that if they want a yorkie I could get her name and number for them to call, but now Im wondering if its safe. I think it is, but Id like you guys opinion.

She put an ad in the paper to sell the pup when they were 6 weeks old but wouldn't let them go until they were 9 weeks old.

When I got there, her house was kind of gross and she smoked inside and so did her hubby, however all her dogs were out and running around, they needed grooming but were pretty clean, friendly, looked healthy and alert and had total run of the house, she had about 12 adult yorkies.

The pups were kept in a babys playpen in a room with a wood stove going full blast, her and her husband held the pups a lot to aclimate them with people. They had recliner chairs in that room so they could sit there and hold the pups. The pups had a bed and blankets in the playpen that were clean.

The pups came with a puppy kit and akc papers and first round of shots, however I had to akc register them if I wanted to, is that normal? I did not do that since it did not really matter to me if they were 'registered' or not, as long as they were purebred.

The parents of my pups were on site and I met the dad but the mom was in hiding and wouldn't come out and the breeder did not want to force her out.

The woman said she has been doing this for 25 years.

The biggest thing that bothered me was, I got my boys and they had health certs from her vet stating they were both healthy and had their first round of shots, however, 3 weeks later when they went to MY vet for their second round and a checkup, my little guy had a heart murmur. My vet was not overly concerned and eventually it closed up and he is healthy and fine now, but shouldn't HER vet have stated that in the health certs?

Any other details you would need to know?

Thanks!!!
