| Weatherford Yorkies "The Yorkie Ranch" Im looking into getting a female puppy? Is this a good breeder? They say they have a family business. They do however have 50 breeding females.. Ive seen some reviews in the guestbook they have and they all seem good. Thank you! Weatherford Yorkies |

| 50 breeding females? There is no way they can ensure good puppy temperament, care and training for the puppies or the moms. It's a puppy mill - I'd stay away. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | STay far away from this one. Breeds what-ever - no health guarantee listed - no information about yorkies. 69 breeding dogs? You gotta be kidding! This is a business - not to mention likely a puppy mill.

| Thank you for your help everyone! I did decide to stay away from them it's very tempting for the size. But I'm going to keep searching and hopefully find someone who breeds they're family pets as a hobby or such. I'm really looking for a pet quality little female. I'm not to worried about her having champion bloodlines. I just want a health little female and not have to pay as much as if I'm getting one with champion lines.. But well my search must continue |

| After the first few sentences I had to stop reading it was making me sick and very sad. 50 breeding females is a puppy mill and breeding females under 5 pounds is not only unethical but not safe and very dangerous.

| I came across this article recently and thought it was good. Why Do Puppies Cost So Much? | Best In Show Daily | 2015 A cheap puppy should be a red flag, not an incentive. I know buying a puppy from a reputable breeder can seem expensive but a good breeder has put a lot of time and money into their dogs. A good breeder will breed good examples of the breed...they should look like a yorkie, act like a yorkie, and should be healthy. They should be health testing (not just an exam at the vet) and give you a good health guarantee.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Great article and a different take on things. I find it kind of funny that folks will pay $1100 or more for a doodle thing or a puggle thingie - and not inquire into health testing or guarantees with this expensive mutt.
