Thanks for all your wonderful responses. The couple we got him from seemed to have a nice environment with only the two dogs. No signs of a puppy mill. I am trying to find out what a back yard breeder is though. The dogs I have had in the past have been shelter rescues. This is the first dog I have "purchased". But I had a friend with a Yorkie and fell in love with the breed. I'm not sure why they chose CKC instead of AKC. It doesn't matter to me really. I am not using him as a show dog and he is not going to be used for breeding. Just an addition to our family.
