Most pet shop puppies come from puppy mills. If you purchase a puppy from a pet shop, you will be supporting this disgusting business. Someone may or may not purchase that puppy if you don't. Hopefully it'll get too old for the pet stores liking and they send it to a shelter where someone can adopt it. Please do NOT buy from a pet store. I know that many breeders are strict about how old children are in the home. I also know that many children do well with small animals. How much experience does your son have with small animals? I recommend looking for a breeder with a yorkie that's a little bigger than average (at least 7 pounds). They would probably be more likely to let you purchase a larger yorkie, especially if you were willing to wait until it was a little older. I would search around the breeders on YT. Just please don't contribute to the income of puppy mills... please. |
