| Something is definitely weird about this breeder. I breed Yorkies and I always welcome people to my home. In fact, I wouldn't sell one any other way. I want to meet the people and assess them before I let one of my puppies go to some stranger I don't know. As far as disease, I have a sink and antibacterial soap available and I always ask prospective buyers to wash their hands before they handle the puppies. By the way, in the picture of the mom, did it look like she only has three legs? |

Wow!!!! How scary is that. As for the breeder / visiting question...those responses just feel "yucky" to me.....I cannot find a good reason to continue dealing with them..... I hope you can find an adorable puppy that is somewhere you can visit and get to know the breeder...remember, this is a person you will likely need to call one day for some info or advice....... TRUST YOUR GUT!!!!!!! You know what is the right thing to do! | |

| I believe debi_s & orinskye are right .... the lady that was killed just happened to be a dog breeder who met her killer on a board. The killer really wanted her baby! It was sooo sad and gruesome! This lady sounds like she is looking for excuses!

| Kristy, The Sugarbear name, Missouri, and God Bless all rang a bell w/ me. I bet the kennel name is Kingdom Pups. I live about 30 minutes from this breeder. My Lily came from her. I also asked about going to her house to see the pups but I also heard the disease thing. I contacted her when the pups were about 4 weeks so had to wait awhile. While waiting, she gave me regular updates, let me know about vet visits, etc. I too was concerned but purchased from her and am EXTREMELY pleased, except for potty training. If there is anything you would like to know about her, please contact me. |

| Yup, that's the one I meant. I thought maybe she was trying to just push it out there as an excuse. Either a very shady on or she's very paranoid?

| I think paranoid hits it on the head. When I met her to pick up my angel she was fine though. She spent a good long while going over eeeeevery thing. She had a care package for Lily and was very prepared. I was worried that I made a mistake going with her because of the way she acted but Lily is just absolutely perfect. When went straight to the vet after I got her. My vet obviously didn't know her but did give her accolades for how clean and socialized and well taken care of that Lily was. I hope you don't think I have any vested interest in this breeder because I don't. I am just trying to rest your mind about any pup that you would get form her. I think she is a real small outfit and her breeding stock are also her babies. She was late middle age and not real hip. |

| Hey lily24 I assume your yorkies name is lily. That seems to be a pretty popular name, huh? I even noticed another user named lily's mom. I wanted name some kind of flower name and liked lily best. my sister said she wasn't big enough to be a whole lily and should name her 'petal' instead. I'm thinking that may be I should have. O well, great minds think alike, right? lol |

| It definitely turned me off. I understand that there have been good puppies that have come from her, but I still think it's a little weird that she wouldn't let me come and I still think she may be up to no good. Maybe she's discriminating because I'm from Chicago? Am I going to come murder her? Nope. She probably doesn't have the stud or something and is pretending she does. That's what I think the best case scenario could be.
