I know that sounds heartless to the poor little cuties that still need homes regardless. But, when you give people like that a dime, you are contributing to the problem. You have to just close the page and walk away. If you feel moved to do something, donate to a rescue (where many of these dogs may wind up if they are lucky, mills if they are not) or send a donation to one of the groups fighting to close puppymills. There are no financial short cuts to owning a quality yorkie. No one who is raising these precious little ones can do it right and sell the pups for $400!!! You won't break even at that even with large litter. There are lots of quality breeders here on YT --- find one and feel secure, knowing you are buying from a conscientious breeder who puts her pups first. |
Awesome post! I just wanted to add, for the OP, to be careful even on YT. We do have some awesome quality breeders here. But, we also have people who are just here to sell puppies. Be very careful and screen the breeder. Remember that you're buying your breeder first, in hopes of having a great support system for the entire life of your dog, and then buying the puppy second.
