Did you buy from a petstore/byb/breeder?

We got Mocha from a petstore BEFORE we were aware of puppy mills and the torture and abuse that dogs go through while there. We are blessed to have gotten a puppy that has a perfect bill of health (outside of allergies). He is the absolute best thing that has happened to my husband and I. Since our purchase of Mocha, I have educated myself about puppy mills. I don't know for a fact if Mocha is a product of a puppymill or not, but I have vowed to give him the very best life he can have and deserves, not because of where he may have come from, but simply because I love him! All dogs need love regardless of where they come from. . .

I got Daisy from a breeder that I met at a Nashville Dog show. I wanted a female and she would email me if she had one that she wasn't going to keep for showing purposes. Daisy was too small to show and I fell in love with her at first sight. The breeder was very helpful and was always available to answer any questions. She even had me over for some grooming lessons. If I wanted another one, I would call her.

We purchased Khloe from a local breeder from Charlotte and it was a fabulous experience! She was very knowledgeable, patient, and cared about the adults and pups that she had immensely. Before you could purchase from her, you had to fill out an application, and be put on a waiting list because she only had two dams and two sires that had litters every two years. She purchased her dogs from a Brazilian dog show, and was able to give us a lot of history on her dogs. After the 6th year and 3rd litter, her dams retire to "living the good life", and they are pampered throughout their pregnancies as well.

Her pups come with a 3 year health guarantee, AKC/CKC papers, 24/7 on-going support if I have any additional questions, and she even has a buy back policy if you aren't 100% satisfied with your pup (which we are, I wouldn't take any amount of money for her. We love her to death). The breeder doesn't run a lot of litters and doesn't have a lot of dogs to breed with because she is highly selective, and she is as interested in the dog's temperaments as she is their physical attributes. We simply adore our breeder and our Khloe. She is a wonderful lady, and if anyone is in the market for a Yorkie in the next year, I would definitely recommend putting in an application with her. She's wonderful!
