From my rough beginnings of getting into Yorkies. I've had conversations with MANY 'Breeders'. My guess was she was a broker too. She has it set up as other brokers aka breeders that sell for 'friends'.

Focus is puppies for sale, and all about how nice her house is and spa day..blah blah...She doesn't mention where the puppies come from. Just where she has them and where they live..that is something that that put's a flag up saying..find out more...call and ask the tough questions..

Can I see the parents?
If she's selling for a friend, ask to talk to the friend..that should't be a problem right? If it is..RUN!

Don't be so taken by the pretty pictures on website..that is such an easy way to take the focus off of the content of the site. And believe me, there are more people than you will imagine that jump on this bandwagon.

Thank you stormy for sharing! SO sorry you had this experience.
