Before I got my Yorkies, I bought several dogs from roadside sellers. Never had any problems with them. It's very common here, no one thinks anything about selling/buying that way - Probably a "cultural" thing??? What one person thinks is unacceptable in one part of the country is quite the norm in another. north and south differences, etc.
...of course, 'roadside selling' ---that's more for the 'big' dogs, labs, dalmations, etc. I've never seen a Yorkie or some little dog sold that way. And you can get papers with them. All our farm dogs growing up were roadside purchases...All lived long and pampered lives. No issues.
These people provide dogs for people who want them. It may not be the way you or I would want to sell our puppies, but it may be their way.
