My kids have a guinie pig and showed me that can be responsible and gentle which i understand with a little pup walk around a floor and alot of feet traffic it is kinda a nervous thought. As far as a puppy mill , I was invited to the ladys house she has 3 different types of dogs and the room they was in was heated and clean there was cages inside the building where pups was at but there was mats down to keep their feet from being hurt and the moms had large runs in the back of building and came in and out to their pups. I have always been one to want to see the place and parents ect. I know with dogs in my past i got them about 8-9 weeks so if u guys says 12 ill ask her to do so. I want to ask you guys this i was offerd a yorkie pup that was born from parents who r inside as house pets would i be better going that route even if the pup was small? The pup i was wanting is almost five weeks and weighs one pound this other pup i have been offerd today is 8 weeks and a lb. But the family seem great the mother n father yorkie is beautiful and healthy looking please offer advise |

Linz I commend you for doing your research up front. After all you want a healthy long lived Yorkie.
The above article which is found in our library, that is the second row down on the home page when you come to Yorkie talk.
This article will let you know the questions you should ask, and other things that are clear to see with a reputable breeder.
IMO - Yorkshire Terrier Breed should not be housed in outdoor buildings with runs to the outside. This breed is not built for the cold; and unless I am mistaken Missouri gets some pretty cold weather.
Breeding three breeds and perhaps cross breeding as well? I pass on that breeder
Second breeder - with dogs/pups in the house. Too little information for me to tell either way. Read the article first. Then you may have answers for your own questions.
