Do you even understand what the parents of a pup from a puppy mill go through and buying a pup from them keeps those puppy mills in business and keeps them keeping the parents in a living hell no joke. How could informing people of this so they stop buying from them and put them out of business ever get old? If you know buying from a puppy mill or from somewhere you know gets there pet from a puppy mill you are considered just as bad as the puppy mill. We are simply not talking about a puppy mill here though. We are talking about a laymen who is breeding for the wrong reasons. A good breeder breeds to better the breed this person is not or they would know what is best for the breed and there pups which is to keep them with there mother until they are 12 weeks old as well as do health testing and such. Have you seen a pup suffer from genetic illness they got because the breeder didn't care to do testing or bred two dogs they know shouldn't be bred? The only way to stop these breeders is to stop buying from them and yes one person does make a difference. On this board we have seen many many people get there pup to young and we have seen the consequences and some of us have live through them. We have seen biting problems, socialization problems, potty problems, genetic issues pop up, the pup not eat, hypoglycemia issues that some pups were lost from, worms, or other sicknesses. We have lived through this and most of us on here cry for these pups and can't stand to see someone have to go through it so we try to educate them and when they know better its like a sucker punch to those of us who tried and to the breed. I am not sure you grasp how bad it can be to get this pup at 6 weeks and I fear you like many people will have to live through it and its problems before you totally get it. My puppy mill pup has Luxating Patella she had to have a over $3,000 surgery on just one leg and will have to have another surgery on the other leg and the pain they have from this surgery is terrible and 8 weeks in confinement until she is completely healed. If getting the healthiest pup you can isn't important to you why didn't you just rescue one of the many many yorkies in shelters? I am guessing you can not and will not take at least a month off work to make sure this pup doesn't die while you are gone? Hypoglycemia is not rare and it is so much more serious then you think and once you experience it you will understand and its not over reacting to say it can result in death if not taken care of. The reply's you are getting are out of the love for this breed and the love for these animals so please try to remember that.
