Oh boy, so are you telling me if the breeder is on this USDA list that's NOT a good thing? She is on this list - I thought being on a USDA breeder list was a good thing. I did hear about get this free report and it says there are no suspensions on file for her. There are 6 puppies listed that are attached to her name (including mine). All say healthy except 3. Two say cough and one says diarrhea & eats feces (that's mine). | |

REALLY! Oh boy....this is unbelieveable. My stomach hurts after reading this one....Well, I guess I learned something new today. I really thought if someone was licensed by the government that they at least had to follow some rules and that made me feel a little better about where he came from. His papers list 5 generations going back.....Now, I feel like I just added to the problem. No wonder she never wrote me back. She probably thinks I'm a moron. Here I am thinking, I'll send her a note with a picture and she'll be thrilled to know where one of her puppies went.....yeah right. She probably doesn't even know which one he came from. I can just imagine what his poor mother has gone through. | |

They are treated like livestock by the millers. They don't waste any money on health testing and provide only the bare minimum care required, often not even that. All dogs have a pedigree, a family tree. A five generation pedigree just means he has relatives. A well bred Yorkie has lots of champions (in red) in his pedigree. Checking to make sure a breeder isn't on the USDA "puppymill" list should be one of the first steps when researching a breeder. You want to get a puppy from a reputable breeder who raises her puppies in the house so they will be well socialized. Reputable breeders never sell to a broker as they truly care about where their puppies go. | |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I don't do business in any store that sells dogs or cats. They always say the animals come from local breeders.....NOT. The stores buy the animals for $250 and sell them for $2500..... Permission to use the information or article, please. |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I don't know what they do but i know it is probably something sad. I am happy though because there was a petstore in the mall near my brother's house and it got closed down! woohoo!! That's one down, more to go. I always felt bad for all the puppies there. Now i wish there was this one downtown that would get closed. I worked there for one day in the retail section and quit that same day. They had puppies selling upstairs for about $3000 and even younger puppies as young as 6 weeks old waiting downstairs in wire cages for the upstairs ones to be sold so they can move upstairs. It was horrible. All i wanted to do was give them all love and take them out of there. And i watched as the ppl that sold them lied to costumers about where they got them and how they will stay small. I wish there was someway to close them down. This is their website http://americankennels.com/sale.html
