I think there is never ever any reason for puppy mills ever and we would be fine if they no longer existed. There is absolutely no reason for a dog to be born with health problems that could be prevented if the parents had testing done. I think breeders can be bad breeders even if they are show breeders there is so much you have to look at not just if they show there dogs. |
From what I know of ethical show/breeders they do not sell their breeder quality dogs to people who are not going to show them or who do not have some sort of a contract to produce at least one pick puppy for them so it is unlikely that you are going to find some good quality Yorkies in the home of a "hobby" breeder. A good breeder does not let their good breeding stock get out in the pet breeder market. The best they can hope to obtain is a good quality pet and that is why many of them have ckc registrations or no registration at all.
