OK family all the red flags are there I met this lady in Pet Smart buying a huge amount of dog food. I had Mika with me and the lady said she was a breeder of yorkies (FINALLY one in MEMPHIS), and believe it or not her sister is also a breeder and lives two blocks down the street from me. As you know I am doing my pre research to get my own baby, and this is tooooooooooooo good.....too good to be true. Here is what I have learned since. 1. Sister #1 (one I met in Pet Smart) sells yorkies AND poms. 2. Sister #2 (one down the street) sells yorkies AND Westies. 3. They set up pens on pretty days outside the On the Border restaurant and sell their puppies to people on the street (no screening). 4. They sell yorkie mixes as well. Are red flags going off with you? |
flags Yes..I got one right in the eye! |
You shoulda seen my face when I read I think number 3, about her SETTING UP PENS OUTSIDE A RESTURANT!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh..... I'll be there's no health guarantee there......... |
I would have to do some more investigating, but I probably wouldn't take the chance. Sorry. |
I see people doing this at the local Wal-Mart. How would you ever really know what your getting? Kinda scary. |
Lotsa red flags there! Any good breeder will screen the homes before they place their pups. |
Are you serious??? What??? How can they do this? I don't get this at all. I hope someone turns them in. These mills are getting out of hand.:mad: |

The breeders couldn't care less who they sell to, as long as they get the $$$$. That's sad...you end up with people that don't understand the breed and probably won't take care of them the way they need to be taken care of. To these people, they've just bought a "puppy" not a specific breed.:( |
I think puppy street buying is an emotional purchase of opportunity. In some rare cases people may have been looking for a certain breed and stumbled up on the street seller by accident...but mostly they are just too cute to resist and the kids and playing with them and whining, and bam they end up going home with them. |
and then they end up in a shelter or on the street-all for money. how sad :(! |
Parking lot sales has been banned in my county. Of course, now it needs to be enforced because it only lasted for a few months and they're back out. |
Oh here in Memphis they have this HUGE flea market the last Sat. in the month, and lots of puppies are sold at those things. |
