Some are even turned into shelters to be euthanized and some are taken out back and shot. The dog breeding world is not pretty and here are a couple of links you might want to look at.

YouTube - Dog Auctions

Puppymills - auctions of dogs in commercial kennels.

You are right we have not been to this breeders house but how do you know she was telling you the truth? I don't mean any disrepect with this statement but we all know on here breeders lie all the time. How did you find her (the breeder)? What proof do you have this little girl only had 1 litter? Where do you think the dogs slept at night? How did the other dogs act when you came to the house? What did the lady do to quiet them down? Does this breeder have a website? Was she breeding other breeds? I ask these questions because frankly most Yorkies are not submission and will fight to the end and will bark their fool heads off if someone comes to the house. I do have one of my rescue's that is submission but she was beaten and tortured so she is frightened of her shadow. I have to take everything slow with her.

I do believe it would be cruel to her to have a litter as her brain is very scrambled for whatever reason.

Oh Cindy,

I have been following this thread and had promised myself to not post again but, I just watched this video you posted... My heart hurts! My husband walked by and asked me why I was watching the video (he knows how tender my heart is). Then he began to watch with me. We are is shock this really happens. It was a true eye opener! Thank you for posting. As sad as it made me, it was very educational. I can't begin to imagine what all happens out in thhis great big world that I have no clue of! I live in my own little world and try to keep the people and dogs I love safe and show them everyday how special they are to me. I am blessed to be able to share my love with my fur kids and even more blessed they allow me to! Having a pet (any pet) in your world is not ownership, it is mutual respect and love for one another until death do you part. This is something that should be strongly remembered before bringing one home. Regardless of their faults or yours, there has to be unconditional love for one another. They breathe, eat, are happy and sad... They are just as alive as humans and the sad fact is, they cannot turn a door knob to leave. They are helpless and depend on us as their caregiver to do the right thing. This video has awakened many feeling inside me. One being shame for not rescuing a needy baby and buying babies only with pedigrees! This video has also brought me ironically, pride for the way my 4 babies (one of which is not a yorkie) are cared for and loved with my whole heart! My post should bring you a smile forever in your heart because I vow, the next baby that is brought into this home will be a rescue with or without papers! Thank you for your post. It was God's will that you touch one life today and it was mine!
