| I got mine from a man who was a friend of a friend- he was breeding his bitch who was the most perfect temperament... I waited over a year for her to get pregnant :P I was so happy with her... However, my parents got our first yorkie when I was 10... back when they didn't know about puppy farms- looking back she could only have been 3-4weeks old, riddled with lice, fleas, ticks and worms... I ended up nursing/hand-rearing her and she became my shadow... she died 4yrs later after being attacked by another dog in heat... and died in my bed asleep beside me.... We reported the farm and they were prosecuted [£500 fine] and closed down! |

| I got my Bassets from the Puppy Experience in Riverhead New York. I didn't really know about puppy mills and bad breeders at that time. I wanted a Basset Hound and nobody else had them. The vet says they're kind of rare in New York. I don't remember off hand the name of the place I got my Shorkie from. The breeder was very good but the pet shop I got Zoe from was really horrible. They failed to tell us that the puppy had be operated on and needed the stitiches removed. It wasn't the pet shop who called us, it was the breeder himself. I don't know how he got our name but he called us and told us that we can bring the puppy to his vet and have the stitches removed at no charge. They didn't even give us a box to take the dog home in. I had to put her under my jacket because it was cold and she was shaking. I would never go there again, that God the Breeder was honest and cared about the dog. Zach I got Vanity Puppies in Flushing New York. Thank God so far he's very healthy and they called us twice to see how he was doing. |

YT 1000 Club Member | My ex-boyfriend got Charlie from a cousin of a friend here locally in Madison, AL for my Christmas present in 2008. I got Natalie from another YT member who had to give her up. I couldn't be more happier with both of them.

| I talked to Lee Grunewald, which at the time she did not have any puppies. (This Time Kennel). She recommended Katy Grice which is who we bought Dudley from. He is a little tart and even though he is ettie bitty, we love him to death. If and when we ever buy another yorkie it will be hopefully from Kathy. |

| I found Bella on kijiji. An individual had her listed. But I think the next time I would look into rescue or a good breeder. |

| HUH...if he really cared would he have placed his dog there at all? Or have placed his dog there prior to the completion of a treatment? I mean it seems this breeder had a show of some concern but genuine care...I'm not so sure |

| I was lucky enough to live accross the street from a breeder...Fiona was the only pup that survived the liter. She just had the dogs fixed, so no more babies

| I haven't quite gotten to take my dog home, but I found the breeder through a webcircle of breeders in my area. She has been breeding for 30yrs and I got to meet my new pup and the parents, she asked me lots of questions and is even hanging on to my new pup until I am prepared and have the rest of his payment. I interviewed other breeders but she was the nicest and most inviting |

| How is it that the entire story regarding this incident is not included in the post like the fact that there was an offer to buy the puppy back after only a couple of weeks of your ownership or that the puppy fell down a flight of stairs a month before the symptoms were diagnosed or that an offer for a replacement was made or even the fact that the parent club for yorkies backed the breeder for standing behind the dog and doing everything that was stated in the contract that was reveiwed before the puppy was sold and signed at time the puppy went home??? |
