Hi all,

I don't post here very often, my Lily has just turned 5 & I think I love her more everyday!

Recently, a couple of people have been asking where they can get a dog like Lily, same size (teacup-yes I know better now) and all... and the first thing I suggest is that they adopt...When I got Lily I wasn't as well informed and got her from a 'breeder' - which looking back on it, the whole situation was so sketchy I should've known better. I'm almost certain Lily is the product of a mill. There have even been posts about the couple who I got her from on this forum.
Even now she's still an extremely nervous girl and isn't a fan of many people. I have done some volunteer work at a local rescue, and whenever possible, I try to inform people of the existence of puppy mills so they don't make the same mistake I did (although my Lily is NOT a mistake, she's my best friend and like my child!) - however, its very difficult to weed through the countless yorkie 'breeder' sites - I want to KNOW this is a good place that loves their dogs I'm referring someone to. Personally, I'm not a fan of breeding at all but not everyone is interested in rescuing a dog. Might as well suggest a REPUTABLE breeder.
With ALL that said, lol, do any of you know of a great breeder in the NY/NJ area?
