bump!

We want to join too! Doodlebug is a rescue from an Amish puppymill and they are horrible places. It makes me happy that his mommy and brothers and sister are all safe as well in new loving homes.

Thanks for bumping this up - I was on vacation when you started this, so I totally missed it. I have lots of ideas for what we can do as a club

Well you are certainly welcome to come see where my babies live and the new babies are born and grow - I don't think its any different than the way yours live - mine are all over the house , on my bed and under my feet :-)

However i do take exception to the post about we should be banned if we have a website - just because i have a website for viewing pictures as opposed to trying to send a dozen shots via email - i would hope doesn't make me a "PUPPY MILL" Just because i have a websit i think i ask more question via phone , email or in person than if i didn't - if someone wants a Nolens baby they answer many questions to my satisfaction - ask any of those that have posted that they have one of mine.

I think there are many YT'ers on here that have been to my house and have seen how my kids live .

And i would love to join the club - that is if i am allowed as i have a website and live out rural in north Florida - but tell me this do you want the list of names for all 8 of my kids ?

I'm not sure which post you are referring to, but if it was mine, I want to make it clear that I see nothing wrong with a breeder having a website. Joey's breeder has a website. She does not sell pets through the site, it's only for giving the consumer some information about her breeding program. I think the only way we can help stop puppy mills is to visit the premises or know someone who has. As a breeder, I'm sure you don't sell to anyone who can come up with the money, but some breeders do.

You only need to list those Yorkies who want to make sure that their offspring doesn't end up in a puppy mills.

No , it was more a generalization about websites - I certainly wasn't offended by my friend - I really do know what you meant though-
I too , grind my teeth when i see a website with puppies ( usually many breeds) then the prices are listed and if you want to use a credit card you can go right ahead and fill out a form and pay the price and they will ship it to you - thats the same as a Pet shop and is most likely a real Puppy Mill .
Now i want every one to understand that i HATE to know a dog lives in a puppy mill and EVERYONE needs to stop buying puppies that come from there - I don't know what it will take to shut these places down but I am plenty willing to use my time and money to help do that - I have been accused of wanting to close them so i can sell mine - Those of you that are or have been on my wait list know that is just not true.

Anyway - i am off topic here as this is supposed to be about a Yorkies against Puppy Mills club and i am joining as soon as i find the link to it again.

I am sorry, I ment the websites that have like 8 different breeds for sale and that you should be careful when buying off line. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

the bad breeders all have great websites
thaTS how they stay in business and can charge 4000 for a puppy
the good breeders should have better websites
someone who has too many breeds is a puppy mill/ broker
but most people cannot tell the difference
unless they read yorkietalk
one or 2 breeds shows they are smaller and better breeders
good breeders SHOULD have great websites if possible

great websites for great breeders for sure

Please don't judge a breeder by his or her website, sure some of the really poor breeders have lots of red flags, but this is not always the case. Don't know if you've all heard about the Teresita Hughes case in Florida, dogs were taken from her home, because of horrible conditions, and after last weeks loss in court, some might need to be returned, unfortunately it's the healthiest she wants back. The Humane Society has spent over $100,000.00 on the dogs care so far. Here's a link to her Website: Raffinans Kennel. There's lots of red flags, but apparently there was enough people who thought she was a good breeder because she had a website. There's more information about the Teresita Hughes case in my signature.
