Hey Sue - which pet store were you at? Did it happen to be a certain one in Scottsdale Center or a certain one on Archer? Just curious.
I went a Petland in one of the south 'burbs of Chicago and they had a female yorkie (they only carry females) for $1600. I had absolutely no intention of buying from them -- just wanted to see what a puppy mill puppy looked like. I was suprised, but she was gorgeous -- beautiful coat, but she looked very unhealthy. They kept telling me she came from a "private" breeder. It really *pissed* me off.
Also, my boyfriend's brotehr bought a maltese with papers from a pet store in the chicago burbs and she is DEFINITELY at LEAST half Bischon. So, that just goes to show what AKC papers mean.
