| Question about a 'breeder' I saw these puppies advertised on a website. It was from a sister company newspaper with a pet section, we are going to be adopting their pet section software. However when I went to check out thier site, this was the first ad, 2 adorable yorkies, so I click on it. Sure enough it is what I believe is a puppymill. The words toy and mini are all over the page, there is actually a whole PDF file on why animal activists, humane societies and rescues are NO GOOD. Which makes me think they have been attacked and accused of being a puppymill. Not to mention the 'sale' of the pups ($100 off THIS WEEK ONLY ANY PUP) and the slew of mixed designer dogs and multiple breeds, I also saw a few chocolate yorkies mixed in there. Check it out... what do you think? puppymill? Cleveland Puppy

| The so-called "local family breeders" are very likely Amish puppymillers. Ohio is full of them. New Page 1 |

| Lots of them use stolen pictures. You really have to watch out for "bait & switch" with internet puppy dealers, too. Too many people realize too late that they have been scammed when they get to the airport and find out that puppy in the carrier isn't the same puppy they thought they were buying. We even had a member on another forum get one that wasn't even the same sex! |
