He did let me walk around his home, see all the puppies and the parents. I did walk around the area the dogs stay in and it looked nice and clean to me. I was almost going to put a deposit down for a puppy I loved but I decided to wait. Glad I did!
I've been to another "kennel" in lavernia called Granny grump Pups and they were definitely a puppy mill. |
Yorkies should be a minimum of 4lbs so anyone who breeds to intentionally have puppies smaller than this are not ethical and should be avoided.
Tiny yorkies are not very cute when they are sick or dead so I would think carefully about what you want ie. a companion or attention from others based on your dogs size.
I think chi's are smaller, naturally, but you would have to research that to make sure.
Good luck and good choice in avoiding what sounds like a puppy mill!
