Hi Robin,

I feel the same way...I wouldn't trade our Lucy Belle for anything. BUT. I didn't know...until I got on YT. I didn't even know what a puppy mill or backyard breeder was. All I knew is that my teen daughter had been begging for a yorkiepoo. We DID look up different small dog breeds and read about them and still decided on a yorkiepoo. But we bought Lucy from a local breeder and even though she's been doing this for a very long time, I had never heard of her. And we live in a rural area..not a booming metropolis. A friend got a yorkie from her and told us about them. Once we got there, I saw that she had many different breeds, not just yorkies....and there were other things, too...I had a hestitation about buying from her but the kids had already met and fell in love with Lucy...and they pooled their money to pay for half of her fee. Plus, the breeder was really very sweet. I couldn't recommend this breeder to anyone else, though, because of my hesitations..... BUT....we have Lucy. She is precious to us.
