You don't know until you visit the breeders if they are a puppy mill or not. In order to breed AKC, they have to follow certain rules in breeding from what I was told by a breeder recently. The place can be clean and look clean and taken care properly and you would not know otherwise. If you were to buy a Yorkshire Terrier from a breeder, it would cost you $800-$1200 and more if you were to show him/her or to breed him/her. Breeders whom are not puppy mills breed for quality and they want the most perfect dog, so you pay the price. |
