Are all brokers bad.

okay everyone sorry i just got home
I did not see either home i guess when the puppies are 10 weeks old they go to a "sellers" home to be sold they dont leave mom until they are sold so mom goes too.
my friend was permitted into the breeders home when the pups wear very little, one time to see the parents and that was it then she got updates with pic from the breeder every week and then one day she got a phone call from a woman saying to come and get her puppy or it would be sold so she did.

As for the choice of yorkipoo in my friend i tried to talk her out of it but that is what she wanted so i stepped back and let her do it on her own and then this happened.

I guess the breeder only let her come see the pups because she had a very hard time selling the last pups and really wanted the sale.
thanks for answering my question thear is not much i can do now but i wanted to know if this was a normal thing some breeders do and i have my answer so thank you

Reputable breeders will tell you they breed to better the breed. They breed to standards and would never intentionally mix a yorkie with a poodle to produce puppies. After this breeder mixed these two breeds together she then passed the puppies off to someone else to sell because "she didn't want people parading through her house". That statement further makes this situation even more questionable because it says to me she is selling puppies only for a profit. She is not concerned with the idea of making sure her puppies go to home that *she* approved. I will guarantee there was no testing done of the parents or a good contract for the health of these puppies. I haven't even touched on the idea that your friend went to the breeders home to begin with and now the puppies have and her phone number has been passed on to a new woman. Shady, shady, shady!

A broker is a broker~they are selling someone puppies and the breeder is not taking the responsibility seriously of breeding. If she doesn't want people parading through her home then she shouldn't breed.
