I know this breeder is on the USDA list, which is already not a good sign. However, my research is delving into a realm far beyond internet access. Once I have some more facts I will report back.
On another note- I'm looking into purchasing another yorkie. I have been in contact with a breeder- Douglas & Sharon Andrew who operate d&s kennel. Their website is www.littlepups.net. They too- are on the USDA list. However, they don't seem to fit the stereotypical facility. Any comments? What do you guys think? |
I wouldn't buy a puppy from them. What about them makes you think they are different and not a puppymill? They are a USDA breeder, that means commercial breeder, which is essentially a puppymill! They breed Yorkies, Maltese and Chihuahuas, probably the 3 most popular toy breeds....they breed these because of all the money to be made. They exploit innocent animals to make their living.
This area of Okla. has many puppymills and horrible byb's. Please look elsewhere for you next yorkie or any puppy!
