So on our local Facebook page a lady said she was looking for a yorkie for a service dog. I responded by saying that she should find a quality breeder and the breeder could match her up the right puppy, and that she should be wary of cheaper dogs as their quality of health may not be as good. I also said that she should tell the breeder what the dog will be trained to do to help find the right match.

She responded that the dog will be used as an ESA and the disability is a personal nature and non of my business. Then that she doesn't want to get scammed.

I explained that an ESA is not a service animal, I never asked about her disability, but that she needs to tell the breeder about what training she is wanting, and another good reason to get a good breeder as a quality breeder knows the temperment of their line best and could match her needs.

Some people, IMO, I think she wants a yorkie to call a service dog to carry around since she only wants to pay $200, $350 max and did I mention she specifically asked for tea cups.
