Hello all,

I got my two adorable yorkshire terriers from Denise about four years ago. She was one of the first local breeders I found after I lost my yorkie of twelve years. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. When I initially called her she spent over an hour on the phone with me talking about her pups and what to look for in a yorkie and what to stay away from if I decided not to buy from her. My husband and I went to her home. It is beautiful, as depicted on the web-site, she brought each puppy to us one by one to spend time with them. My puppies were very healthy, clean and well cared for. She said if for any reason I changed my mind about the puppies she would take them back. She even offered to keep them if I travelled and was unable to find care for them. I know several people in my area who have gotten beautiful puppies from her as well. This being said, with all the info in the media about puppy mill dogs, I realize that she is a reseller. Although, I feel guilty for having supported this, I was unaware of these mills at the time. I am grateful that the pups I did get were in a clean environment, a groomer was on site which I personally saw, and the puppies were playing together outside. I guess I am grateful that I was able to give two puppies a nice home and that her puppies were in a nice home instead of a pet store in some wire cage. I love my puppies and feel badly that some have had a negative experience with her. Again, I must have been one of the lucky ones.
