Most of us know that the amish have puppymills. Well while i was searching for yorkie care this link was on the side of one of the search pages and just thought i would share an Amish website that sells puppies.
http://www.amishpuppies.com/

Oh my... I find your statement kind of... well ......wrong

I live right smack dab in the middle of tons of Amish and I hate to say but just because your Amish doesn't mean you sell puppies.Do some Amish sell puppies...yes and some under good and some under bad circumstances. Your forgetting that many people think Mennonites are Amish and bulk them together. I can tell you right now I have seen many more Mennonite Mills then Amish Mills. I also can tell you NO Amish person who is truly Amish would even have a website much less their Picture on it. It's preposterous(spelling)

Oh, and I can't even see the website... printing is to small and I can only read the big headline stuff

luv4yorkies · 08-29-2005, 07:30 AM

i can see the printing well. i did not mean to all amish people. and did not mean any harm by it. i just found it amusing that it was a website of an amish breeder.

yorkieangel · 08-29-2005, 07:37 AM

HMMMMMM It keeps looking like tiny ants when I click on it

If it were a true Amish......you wouldn't see it. It would not be on the computer and definately not with pictures with the man included ..NONONO.

Maybe possibly some kind of broker in the Amish, Menonite area that buys from them and resells..... I need to be able to see the stupid thing

luv4yorkies · 08-29-2005, 07:40 AM

can you just type it into your address bar.

I have a problem with this site.

From my understanding, Amish don't believe in any sort of technology- they live their lives in a basic way, shunning most forms of technology. I have little faith in the values of a breeder or group of breeders that will abandon their beliefs for the sake of a sale.

Second, in the first paragraph of the website, there is a statement on how the Amish are known for how well they treat their animals. The only things I've heard about an Amish group or family's treatment of animals have been that they are mistreated and view their animals as property. (I realize that this doesn't necessarily mean all Amish abuse or mistreat their animals, but unfortunately the only things I've heard have been negative.)

I didn't look further into the site than the first page becuase of the two points I just made. For those two reasons alone I would have no faith in the health or treatment of the animal I purchased from that website, and would have little or no faith in the people selling the animals.

yorkieangel · 08-29-2005, 07:44 AM

No matter if I click on your link or type it in myself.. it comes up teeny tiny and I can in no way read it.
Can everybody else see it full sized or is anybody else getting the teeny tiny version?

Very good point- I didn't even think about this.

yorkieangel · 08-29-2005, 07:55 AM

I hope everyone understands my point and I am not looking to argue, just that living right in the middle of it all I know things for fact and not just what TV portrays or what I hear from the grapevine. It's like saying Indian people are this way or African American people are that way.... and Oh yeah Jewish people are like this...Amish people are just like everybody else. Some good some bad and some true to religion and some not so much.

Sometimes I get a good laugh because this is a touristy area in places and if someone puts words like Amish or Amish Country in a roadside stand with a quilt or piece of furniture or something they can ask more for it because the general belief that it somehow makes it folksy and well made.

donnaz · 08-29-2005, 10:55 AM

It's a gimmick. The breeders are hoping people will believe the hype, and just buy. Their yorkie is listed at 950, or there abouts. They have all types of puppies listed with price.
I bought my yorkie from a site that had religious theme, thinking she would have to be honest. Wake up woman!
I love my yorkie, but the breeder miss led me.
And this is my first post. Zoe is 7 months and weighs 4 1/4 pounds. Doesn't like innova or anything else. I've been reading your all's posts and love this site. Can't get anything else done.

Puppy mills "they are just so cruel"

I suppose I don't understand why it is not allowed to "view" any puppy ahead of time, but rather a chosen meeting location. Are non amish people not allowed on the property? I did go so far as to look at a couple of those sweet puppy faces and read a lot on that site that left me with more questions than the desire to open a checkbook. But I'm not one to judge, just hope it's a good place for those babies to be until find their forever homes.

donnaz · 08-29-2005, 12:32 PM

I don't know about the Amish, but I doubt my breeder wanted me to see her setup. Also, they don't have to show parents!

yorkieangel · 08-29-2005, 01:41 PM

LOL... Yes Amish will let non -Amish on there property. I still can't read it but from previous post I'm thinking maybe it says something about calling ahead or possibly they meet you with the puppy.

I'm thinking this would be because they don't have an Amish farm!!!! LOL even funnier........Amish would have to meet you in a horse and buggy because NO cars . They will do use transport service but I doubt it with a puppy.
I have yet to see ANY Amish puppy sellers who didn't let you come to their house. Yes I have seen where they make you wait outside the barn while they bring the pups out, but I have also been invited inside to see the new pups and there they were nursing off Mommy in a box in the middle of the livingroom.

By the way...LOL... I'm not a puppy weirdo, just I used to be into rescue and meeting about the mills and stuff like that. I pretty much do rescue work part time now instead of full force. I'm not a fanatic and believe people have the right to breed as long as they do it humanely and correctly.
