I think you should tell her information. It's disgusting to see people get on this wonderful site and treat their wonderful fur-babies like that. From my experience, My husband bought a chocolate yorkie I believe it is (because her nose is brown..very rare from what I've seen) around Christmas for me from a traders guide who had some on sale. He was unemployed and had been for 6 months and we were tight on money and thought the little thing was a good deal. My husband received a AKC paper with her information and the puppy's previous parents...but forgot to ask the usual questions about medical history. So needless to say, I've tried calling the woman a million times and she won't return any of our calls. She had a place on her side that moved and found out it was just a fatty cyst and it's gone away, but also, her baby teeth has not been taken out. I'm sure the woman confirmed and made him believe that she was a good breeder and said she's done it a long time to where he didn't even question a puppymill. But the poor thing had her hair cut short due to a flea problem months prior we were told and she had told him she had many more at home waiting to be sold.

Needless to say I'm sure my girl was from a puppy mill and we were blessed with just a few things...because she's happy, eats and drinks well, and using the bathroom well...other than learning the puppy pads. My husband and I adore her and we both were more of a cat person in the beginning, but now we're a yorkie fan. They're so much fun.

I think you should tell everyone who this woman is....so they won't have the same problems that you and I have mentioned and experienced. I can't stand when people who buy such precious animals and treat them with disgust and then cry and act like they're their babies when it's time to sale. It's pathetic because if they truly cared, we wouldn't be having these problems.
