I think that's why people shouldn't bring potential customers of their puppies to their house to view the pups. Regardless of how well you phone interview them, some people are so good at deceiving, one sets themselves up to have their dogs stolen once word gets out where Yorkies live. Even if it isn't that person, they may mention to another,...then another...and eventually everyone knows "where the Yorkies" are. Not everyone can stay home all day to guard their dogs, gotta work to buy that dog food!!! I know I wouldn't let someone come to my house (a stranger anyway) -- isn't worth the risk. I don't care what someone says about needing to see where they were raised...times are not what they use to be. I wouldn't have one problem being asked to see a pup at someone's work place, where ever as I would understand their caution in bringing strangers to their home.

I know, steal something else but a pet. That's a good point you make about people coming to the house....never thought of it.
