Northern NJ Yorkies / Playhouse Puppies

Wow, I guess this was the wrong forum to join. Bringing home that puppy on Christmas morning made my 3 girls day. And no, there were no sloppy kisses and over excitement. It was just the opposite. We made it a quiet day so that our new addition could adjust to her new home.

Good luck to you all!

No, I have not bought a puppy for her and never would. I have been on her site and would not promote her for obvious reasons that others have already posted about. Her website is nothing but red flags. Elaine

And what were the obvious reasons that you wouldn't buy from her? Everything she has on there is what I read in books about Yorkies and breeders.

--she is breeding multiple breeds--Yorkies, Chis, Bulldogs....one search brought up Shih Tzus?
--there is no info about her dogs, no pictures, no contract
--There seems to be more emphasis on her "business" (as she refers to it) than the actual breeding program itself. Paragraphs about how to set up an appointment, policies on keeping your appointment, deposits and non-refundable returning of puppies, and 'business hours' for when she will accept calls

In short, the site is lacking alot of important info.

This are just my opinions and observations based ONLY off the info on her site.

These are the reasons right here quoted above.
I don't believe that all breeders that breed multiple breeds are bad breeders, but when it is a "business" that is just a puppy factory, that causes red flags.
Sure someone could have had a great experience with them. Wild animals have perfectly healthy offspring all the time, so it's possible they could be without major health issues and whatever. When it comes down to it though, a reputable, responsible, respectable breeder will NOT advertise anything TEACUP at all, period.
