This is really a tough thread, when you see a puppy whether it be from a puppy mill, BYB, Broker, they all need to be rescued, you are rescuing a puppy at a very high price. I will not even think of going near one, and my heart says take them all home, get them well and find good homes for them.

I feel, when you are shopping for a car, you get the best car for the best price, from the nicest salesman. You want to know as much about that car as you can to see if you are getting the car you are paying for.

The same thing applies to a Yorkie, you are looking at a 15 to 16 year investment. You need to know everything you can find out about that baby before you decide to purchase it. KNOW THE BREEDER, VISIT THE HOME OF THE BREEDER, SEE THE PARENTS, CHECK OUT THE PAPERS, SEE WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS THE BREEDER WILL ASK YOU. HOW EARLY DOES THE BREEDER LET THE PUPPIES GO, DO THE PUPPIES LOOK CLEAN AND HEALTHY, DOES THE HOUSE SMELL CLEAN, ARE THE PARENTS CLEAN, AND IS EVERYBODY AT THE HOUSE LOOKING HAPPY, CLEAN AND WELL ADJUSTED, ASK A TON OF QUESTIONS, TAKE NOTES! iF THE BREEDER IS REALLY ANXIOUS TO SELL YOU A PUPPY STEP BACK, DON'T BE TALKED INTO A PUPPY. YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON A CAR, DO THE SAME ON A PUPPY, THAT PUPPY WILL BE WITH YOU LONGER THAN A NEW CAR. IT WILL BE A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY. THAT BABY IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT PURCHASE THAT CAN MAKE YOU EXTREMALLY HAPPY, OR IT CAN BE A HEARTBREAKER, AND A MONEY PIT. THERE ARE SO MANY RESPONSIBLE BREEDERS OUT THERE, AND ALMOST ALL OF THEM SHOW. PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK, IT WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD IN THE LONG RUN.
DON'T BUY A PUPPY BECAUSE YOU FEEL SORRY FOR IT AND IT LOOKS SO CUTE, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT GO NEAR A PET STORE, THE LAST ONE I WENT TO, I SPENT OVER 400.00 GETTING TREATS AND TOYS FOR ALL THE LITTLE BABIES THAT WERE THEIR AND UP FOR ADOPTION. i WANTED TO TAKE THEM ALL HOME, AND I WENT HOME CRYING BECAUSE ALL THOSE DOGS AND PUPPIES DID NOT HAVE A MOM AND DAD TO LOVE AND TAKE CARE OF THEM. i KNOW WE ARE ALL ON THIS SITE BECAUSE OF THE LOVE AND COMPASSION WE HAVE FOR ANIMALS.

WHEN YOU KNOW EVERYTHING YOU CAN FIND OUT ABOUT THAT PUPPY AND ARE HAPPPY WITH EVERYTHING, THAT IS THE TIME TO MAKE THE PURCHASE, NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE FEELING SORRY FOR A PUPPPY.
