Thank you for your replies. It feels comforting knowing I was not overreacting.

While speaking with a few breeders another concern came up.

After asking a few questions (the price being one of those) they ask me if I want to be put on a waiting list. Breeder 1, said the waitlist would be all the way to September 2021. While Breeder 2, said it would be Jan 2022. To me this was a red flag, I promptly said, "No. Thank you."

In previous discussions with breeders one of the following has happened:

A. "We are expecting a litter at X time. I can call you when the puppies are ready for homes."

B. "We currently have a litter, would you like to come see the puppies?"

My concern is more towards the well-being of these Yorkies. I feel as though some of these breeders may end up over-breeding their dogs just to meet demand.
