We had to wash our hands with a sanitizer, we had to clean the bottoms of our shoes. All good precautions to take, so I thought she was a reputable breeder. The Yorkies she had in the buidling weren't actually hers. She was selling them for a friend of hers that works at the local vets office. Turns out they were much better cared for than her own. Hers were kept outside and they were nasty. She brought a couple of them in for us to see before we commited to buying Nikki, but they turned us off because they were dirty and smelly. Poor little things. She wouldn't sell hers before 10 weeks, but the one we bought was only 6 wks old. I understand now how risky that really was! My husband wouldn't let us take her out of the house until she had all her shots. Anyway--I know now that she is running a puppy mill, and when people ask us where we got Nik, we tell them, but recommend they don't buy from her and why.

I am a Breeder of AKC Yorkshire Terriers...I for one am 100% Backyard Breeders and Puppy Mills...And I for one as a Breeder of AKC Yorkies would recommend you calling this lady back and tell her what you've found out...Ask her WHY the puppy is Reg. CKC & NOT AKC...If she is what you say she is then maybe she will tell you the truth...Tell her your wanting to breed this baby she what she says and that you want this baby Reg. with AKC..

Who wouldn't sell the puppy before 10 weeks old??? And can I ask why you choose a 6 week old puppy instead of waiting on the 10 week old puppy? Lee
