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? |
The fact they are USDA licensed is reason enough to not buy from them, IMO.
I'm not sure what you mean by not being the stereotypical facility, here is what they have in an ad for their puppies:
"Our dogs are kept in clean, climate controled facilities with free access to
outside gravel runs, for plenty of fresh air and exercise. We socialize our pups
so they will be well adapted to their new enviornment."
WOW, access to outside gravel runs, lucky dogs!
OH and the misspellings are in their ad!
