| Anyone heard of "Tina's Tiny Terriers"? My daughter and I were at PetSmart today, and we took the boys with us. We were walking up an aisle, and a lady approached me and said "so, you like yorkies?" I said "oh yes, very much. She said "well, I breed them, don't like them much, but the demand for them is high. I wouldn't have one as a pet, but that's just me." I asked her how she breeds them if she doesn't have them as her pets. She said they are not in her house, but she has very clean kennels. She handed me a business card and said if I'd like to buy another puppy to give her a call. She said she has 38 dogs in her breeding program. I almost handed it back to her and told her that I would never buy a dog from someone who felt that way. Instead, I kept her card thinking maybe I can find out if this is a puppy mill or if these dogs are taken care of. Her card says: "Tina's Tiny Terriers" South Akron, Ohio. "We breed only the tiniest of teacups" Clean Kennels, heat, a/c, over 30 breeding dogs. Healthy, vet checked, shots, all ages, all teacups. have puppies all the time. Please call for appt. Anyone ever heard of them?

| I haven't heard of them but that doesn't mean anything nor am I a breeder, but after reading a lot of others comments about this, I would not consider a pup from them. The name alone sends up red flags. Personally I would hope that a breeder that I got a pup from (regardless of breed) would have one as there own. JMO.

| I've never heard of them, but I can't imagine telling someone you are a breeder, but you don't really like the breed of dog you have! That sounds like alot of dogs to have and the way she's advertising them as teacups! She's pretty much admitted that it's only about the money for her!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Doesn't like them much....that statement is so sad and speaks volumes without knowing anything else about her.

| I know! I was shocked! It's obvious that she is only in it for the money. I have never come across a breeder who is breeding yorkies and doesn't like the breed.

| OMG...well, she better be glad she didn't run into me Actually, I might have been speechless because you just don't expect to run into someone like that! I totally believe you but that's all just almost unbelievable..a breeder just outright saying they don't like the breed but breeds for money, admitting they have a lot of dogs, and advertising teacups and puppies all the time. Wow..everything on her business card would make most of us run in the other direction

| God! That is ridiculous... Even the simple fact that she HAS a business card that she randomly hands to people in a pet store is horrible... |

I just wondered if anyone here had heard of this breeder. I am really thinking about calling for an appt. just to see what kind of place it is. It just sounds like a puppy mill to me. I'd like to be able to report it if it is.

| What a great way to spread your business! And the fact that the lady seemed to act as if it's perfectly acceptable to breed dogs as a business...I hope she gets all the dogs taken away from her.

I am going to call for an appt. and see what happens. I'm hoping to get a look at her kennels and her dogs. Clean or not, I'll be able to tell if they are well taken care of or not. It's bothering me that she doesn't like the breed. It makes me wonder if they are taken care of or if they get the attention they deserve.
