There is so much to ask about a breeder and their practices and simply trusting a vet they pay isn't sufficient...in fact many pup mills list their vets as references the same vets who debark dogs etc.
One would hope the dogs are both indoor and outdoor you can't leave your dogs indoors at all times and expect them to be well adjusted animals IMHO>
However I had a flea issue from bringing in a stray, as well the neighbor dogs recently weren't treated during the winter for fleas and they got to my dogs via the yard-one of mine is allergic to fleas despite using Frontline Plus fleas still get on them they just die after biting ad are killed before hatching etc...but having a vet notate it can be a red flag.
Edit: So I know as soon as my dog has been in contact with fleas as she gets a reaction and has to be immediately treated for her skin allergy
Are you looking at a standard Yorkie? Is the breeder YTCA? Use their name and ask about them specifically on here, only people who have an alternative agenda don't use names here IMO...
