Sorry but I would consider anyone under these conditions that you mentioned not to have the best intentions at heart. My personal opinion of a puppy mill is of which you just described, only on a much smaller scale. I am thankful Baby Blessing was in an environment of a caring breeder
I suppose we have been looking at what I would call conscientious back yard breeders and found them all to be very clean, The yorkies we have looked at were all kept indoors which I was happy to see, socialized with family members, homes were clean, and one could see they were all loved and cared for, vet checked and shots started. I have great admiration for people such as these, it takes a lot of time and much effort to do all they do in their breeding and raising them to the age of going to their forever homes. The folks we got Baby Blessing from moved back East, had they not moved away, I would definately have gotten the next one from them. These are strictly my own opinion.
