Be careful with the hobby breeders as alot of times their hobby is making money! I know of a lady who breeds very well known Yorkies and she will not allow people in her home. She used to allow screened prospective pet owners in, but a few years ago was asked to show a pedigree of one of her bitches. As she turned to get the correct file the couple left the home with 2 of the 3 puppies. She had one in her arms. The puppies were only 5 weeks old and the couple was supposedy ready to put a deposit down on one of the pups. She had been breeding for over 20 years and was always able to screen well... it seems that criminals come in all shapes and sizes - and now she will not allow anyone in her home to see her puppies. As her health deteriorates she breeds very seldomly, but I totally understand her logic. Just some food for thought! |
