| I have not bought a pup from her...just a couple of tidbits looking at her website. She has 4 different breeds on her main page....referring to one as a "designer" dog. She does use the word teacup....which I know is a word used because people want the "teacup" size....meaning small. But that is typically a word used to justify charging more money for a small yorkie. I do worry that her prices seem to have an awkward range.....anywhere from $275-$850. Of course the older pups the price is lower but in my honest thoughts are if that particular yorkie is healthy and happy I would pay the same amount for a QUALITY adult as I would a puppy....questions I would ask this breeder: are the parents on site. Can you visit where the pups are whelped. What health information can she supply. I just worry about the health of your puppy....and the heartbreak you may have if you were to purchase from this website. Please check ytca.org and check for breeders in your area. If at all possible....do not buy a pup sight unseen!

| I say this is a BROKER, just to many breeds and "Designer" pup, NO reputable breeder breeds mixed dogs. Brokers buy or sell on consignment puppies from BYB, Puppy Mills. Me, I would stay away. If you are considering buying based on price, well, as the saying goes, "ya get what ya pay for" Save more money, find a BREEDER not a broker, a breeder that has breeds just one breed not several diff. breeds. YT has a listing for breeders, check it out. Good luck on your quest for finding that healthy happy baby.

| Broker 100%. Run away! Brokers get their dogs from puppymills. No good breeder would sell their pups to a broker who in turn will sell them to anyone with the money. The breeders would have no say in who the dogs go to. Same thing for pet stores. Do not buy from them under any circumstances, no matter what the pet store staff will tell you. "They are from local breeders." BS.

| Agreed. Don't open yourself up for the heartache of getting a sick pup.
