A lot of the rescue's around me are selling puppies that came from puppy mills. I don't know how that's any better than me going to a mill myself. | |

| ![]() First off the puppies are being let go before they are 12 weeks and every reputable breeder or yorkies holds the puppies until 12 weeks, they all are not AKC registered, and they have mixes listed and a good reputable breeder does not breed mixes.

| ![]() Agreed. I think it would be fine to have better resources on the Internet so people can find the reputable breeders... and most importantly, see the puppies they have to offer before contacting them. I don't know about you, but I don't want to go out and blindly meet a bunch of breeders that do not have puppies that interest me. |

Where did you get your information that Yorkietalk charges breeders to post puppies? Read this: Quote:
Yorkietalk does not charge breeders to advertise puppies. Some of us thought that a person should at least be a donating member to do this, but admin did not feel that that would be right.

and Bear too! ♥ Donating Member | ![]() I drove to TN and rescued a dog that was advertised on a FB garage sale. His hair was matted to his skin, he had fleas and he'd never been to a vet! That's a rescue! I drove almost 7 hours to get him. If you put your heart in the right place and search long and hard and you are meant to have a pet, you will find one without going straight to a puppy mill or broker.

Where does the money go if you get a mill dog from a puppy mill? It goes back to the puppy mill to fill the pocket of the mill owners and the dam used is condemned to yet another year of living unloved as a baby making machine. In this situation, one pup finds a home, but the buyer gives the mill owner a reason to continue their operation. If you would like to verify that, contact a rescue like yorkie haven rescue. They are a non profit yorkie rescue that can show you just where the money goes.

| ![]() Many show breeders will sell 'pet quality' puppies to the general public. Years ago, I wanted a Maltese and bought a book on same. I saw pages of pictures from the same breeder and many photos of her showing in the ring. I contacted her (in PA) and she had a male dog born with ony one testicle - means he can never be shown - but just fine for a pet quality dog that will be neutered anyway. (Neuter is alittle more expensive). Long story short - I bought a book to research the breed I wanted; and ended up purchasing a pet quality dog from a show breeder. Casper was a wonderful dog - but he was not going to end up in the show ring. I traveled a couple of hours and visited twice before I decided. It can be done. I was very young then and didn't find it all that hard.

| ![]() If you want something easy go buy a shirt at Walmart! It should not be an easy thing to get a new family member that will hopefully live with you a long long time!
