| I would suggest checking YTCA.org for good breeders in your area! There is a lot of good info in the Yorkies for sale section at the top. I would read the stickies on what to look for and stay away from in a breeder! Good luck!

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Make sure you check the links about finding a great breeder. There are lots of puppy mills in PA. Good luck.

| You should read about puppymills Im sure theres some links in the library. Puppymills are large comercial operations that mass produce puppies to be sold at petstores. The breeding parents are kept in a cage all there lives and their sole purpose is for breeding. Alot of times they dont have medical care, usually they are kept in horrid conditions and yes alot of times the puppies are sick

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Puppy mills aren't necessarily large. There are a lot of smaller operations out there that have conditions just as bad. There are also a lot of Amish puppy mills up in your area. Bottom line is that the dogs are over bred, under cared for and absolutely NOT bred to improve the breed. The only thing that matters is fast turn around and cash flow. You could get lucky and end up with a healthy dog from one. But it absolutely won't be the best pet you can have. Something that gets said around here a lot is "buy your breeder before you buy your dog." Take your time and do your research.

| That is so sad!! I wanted to cry! It makes me just want to take the puppy home and care for it! If i had the money i would take all of them home and take good care of them and see if i can bring them back to good heath but that would cost a whole lot of money that i dont have. I feel so bad for them! By signing this puppy mill bill thread what does it mean if i sign it? By signing it does it mean im against and to help stop puppy mills? |

It's a natural reaction to want to "save" the dogs from those places. But by buying them, people are rewarding these greeders and encouraging them to keep doing things exactly the same. Not only are they getting a financial reward, but space is being opened up for them to do it again.
