Most GOOD breeders wont sell 3-5 pound yorkies to people with small children because yorkies that small are very fragile, they can brake a leg very easily. they are pretty much infants themselves.
But a 6 or 7 pound yorkie does just fine with kids but you still have to be careful and teach your kids to be very gentle with them.

Pet stores will tell you that the pups are not from puppy mills mostly because they have no idea where they actually came from, they usually make orders to corporations such as the Hunte Corporation (who is the leading supplier of puppymill pups).
No GOOD breeder would sell to a pet store because they want to see and interview buyers and make sure the pup will be in good hands not just sell to anyone with the money.

If you really like a pet store that seems nice and they claim that they are from good breeders, they ask for the breeders info, like phone number, ect..
Then call the breeder and go to their house and see the living conditions there. You will know if it is a puppymill by the horrible smell and all the dogs are filthy and in cages. It is a very sad life for them, so please dont support it.

You said it all Karren!!!!! I always interview the potential buyer of any dog I sell...no matter the age or size. I would give a dog away before ever, ever letting it go where I don't know where.

For one thing it is against all club rules to sell to brokers and pet shops..second, has anyone ever heard a pet shop onwer say.."we buy our pups from puppymillers?" Who would admit to it..and some may truly believe they deal with reputable breeders..but no way IMO...

Please don't buy from a pet store
 

Go to google and put in Pet Store Cruelty and spend some time reading.

I hope I did the quote thing right. That just cracked me up. Imagine asking the owner where the pup came up & the owner saying "Oh some pet mill from Kansas, coat me $75.00 , but I'm only gonna charge you $1500. Now will that be Visa or Mastercard":lol tears :lol tears

Only if you want to cry your eyes out.

so i decided to email them and this is what puppylandla.com had to say

our family breeds our own puppies. they are hand raised at our ranch. the parents live happy comfortable lives in their bungalows and grass fields. our ranch is located in southern california just 2 hours away from los angeles. thank you.

Puppy Stores are the worst. Responsible breeders are the best. Some will ship and I know of one who has cute little puppies.

Will they let you go to their "ranch"?
If they dont, that is a big red flag.
Any GOOD breeder will welcome you to their premises.
Good Luck!

I heard the guy Dean(owner of the store) gives great advice regarding yorkie. Each time you go in, he will give advice to new yorkie owners. check it out Karren since you live close by. I would myself but I am no. cal

hi... where is the dean guy located???:confused: Is he a breeder?? :confused: Do you have his address or website?? :) thanks a lot, :D maybe I could ask him where to get one...:)

are you phrasing this question to me? Oh, I don't want to buy from a puppy mill/store. Originally, I thought www.puppylandla.com was a breeder. I am not even sure where they get their puppies. I was just asking if anyone here got their puppies from this website. If so, were they satisfied. If not, why not. That's all. I wasn't trying to start a stir up of puppy mills :D . I read lots of posts so I know how sensitive this forum is in regards to puppy mills. In fact, I learned a lot reading from this forum. :)

I do not believe any responsible breeder would sell to a pet store!! No way!!

Well, I have been following the website. They have had 3 litters since the post has been. So, I guess you can conclude that they are not "true" breeders. Does anyone know of a good breeder in southern california? :D
