The fact that the OP just unknowingly bought a puppy mill puppy is the reason why we have to keep trying to educate people whether this sale is a done deal or not. There are still too many people who are unaware of the dangers of buying a puppy online.
Many people come to YT before they buy their Yorkie. If even just one reads this thread and doesn't make the same mistake the OP did, then it is worth it.
We must keep spreading the word and educating people about puppy mills. It is the only way we will ever shut them down.
