Do not buy Yorkshires from this "breeder" in St-Remi (Quebec). Here is my experience:

First, dogs are not kept in the family home. They are in a shed outside of the family home that you CANNOT visit (PUPPY MILL?)

Secondly, you CANNOT see the parents of the puppies in person! For a multitude of excuses, she says that they have not been washed and are not presentable (WARNING!);

Thirdly, she provides a guarantee of ONLY 10 DAYS! Any respectable breeder offers MINIMUM 1 YEAR! I've even seen some offer 2 years! Why only 10 days? She does not believe in her dogs? They have a reputation for being sick?

Fourthly, they are NOT registered with the Canadian Kennel Club. The reason? She LOST her rights several years ago to register her dogs because of complaints the C.K.C. received from several customers who had bought their dogs with her!

Fifthly, she had to face the Quebec justice several times due to lawsuits against her by purchasers of her Yorkshire. The records of the Small Claims Court of Québec states that SEVERAL LAWSUITS were filed against her. The reasons are many, but it focuses mainly on the health problems of the puppies she sold.

Sixthly, NO PROFESIONALISM! If you interrupt her when she speaks or you ask her certain things (do not try to ask questions she talks non-stop) she asks you why you ask these questions!

In conclusion, from my experience, a puppy should always be raised in a family environment in the family home with a MAXIMUM of ten (10) dogs. Otherwise, it starts to be messy (despite all the precautions that can be taken) and the puppy loses its individuality.
