I think that this is a good answer to your original question, along with the other YT'ers that actually know Ruth of MsChif yorkies. It sounds like the people that have delt with her have only good things to say. This is the type of breeder that I would hope to get a puppy from.
When I went to pick up my Rocky from his breeder, there was quite a bit of corresponding that went on before she agreed to let me come and see him. I didn't get the address from her until the morning of our visit. And no dog was going to be sold to me for sure. Her letting me purchase him depended on how our visit went.
But these cautions made me more confident in her as a responible and ethical breeder. Don't count somone out because their main concern is the welfare of their animals and not how many puppies they can sell. You can pretty much tell which breeders are all about the puppies (selling them) and which are all about their dogs. Ruth has already stated that she would let someone that she felt very comfortable with come to see her home.
I also see that people are making a point about seeing the home to make sure all is what it seems. This is good advice, but if you can get
good refrences and earn the breeders trust I think that it is worth the extra time and effort so that you end up with a healthy, well bred yorkie in the end. It is after all about a 15 year commitment
