ok fellow yorkie lovers.. please dont get upset by this question.. i am asking because i dont know.
so my question is.. do all puppies from pet stores come from puppy mills?

i have been seaching for a yorkie for awhile now.. (extremly fustrating).. im talking about 6 months of straight searching!!! and i was curious if all pet stores are bad? i do NOT want to support mills! and if their are such thing as good pet stores.. how do you find out witch ones are good and bad. Thanks!

p.s. adopting was my first choice.. but i would like a dog under a year old because i have a daughter and i would like one young enough to train to be good with kids.. i did apply for two already but unfortunatly did not get them.. the younger yorkies get soo many apps.. for obvious reasons and where im located you dont come across many.

another thing is.. im not rich.. i mean im not poor either.. i have money put away but i just dont feel right dipping into my savings for 1,500 dollars to buy a dog from a breeder. some might ridacule me for saying that. but please understand i have a daughter and two kitties at home to take care of. my savings are for a MUST need.. incase god forbid i ever have to dip into it. i feel like i really would not pay more than 700 for a puppy and thats a top price. some might not understand that.. some might..
but please i asked this question to educate myself.. any info is greatly appriciated!!
