I agree. Their listing will not guarantee a puppy that did not come from a mill or a bad breeder. They do inspect some breeders but I do not know of any that has ever been inspected. And let's face it, if someone wants to lie there is not much we can do to stop it except to be vigilant. Read the advice to buyers and learn from it. Does the breeder own the parents? Can you meet them? They may be out in a shed where kennels are stacked on top of each other. Where there are shaved and dirty dogs with no exercise room, no toys, nothing to entertain them, and no dental care ever provided. They will usually have a heavy leather collar with their AKC number engraved. Do not get in a hurry. Check the breeder out. Ask on YT and ask other yorkie owners in your area. If you meet a yorkie, ask the owner. Someone can tell you that Yorkie A is the mother and Yorkie B is the father even if one of the parents is another breed that lives down the street. I am sure that those people will be punished in the next life but for now, buyer beware. A reputable breeder will welcome your questions and your personal inspection. I am very picky about where my babies go and wish all other breeders were, too.
