| Just got home from the vet's office. Puppy had roundworm and ear mites. Dr says he is only about 5 weeks old but is in good shape other than the ear mites and worms. He is weighing in at 1 pound today. He was given dewormed and ear mite drops to take home. He had loose stool as soon as I got him home, probably from the wormer I assume |

Everything said above is spot on...makes me absolutely ill.....people MUST stop buying these puppies or it will never end! What is so very sad, they are making laws and breeding so expensive for LEGITIMATE breeders, that play by the rules, that do it all right, for all the right reasons....and THEY are getting forced out of business because of the expense of regulatory control....but people like this just continue to sludge along, bottom of the gutter, .....criminal, and the authorities are going after and shutting down legitimate, concerned, caring breeders, through extreme regulatory control and expensive, cost prohibitive mandates and regulations, allowing the scum to continue to fester and reproduce and sell sick, genetically compromised puppies, to people that are willingly buying and supporting this practice. People, PLEASE stop buying sick, immature, worm infested, poorly bred CHEAP puppies......remember, you get what you pay for......you pay now, or you pay later, but you WILL pay..........all these bargain basement puppies may not cost you up front, but you are going to pay dearly trying to treat the genetic issues, deformities, and illnesses, (and may still loose the baby....) these shysters are pushing out there on you, shucking and grinning, as they take your money and hand you a puppy that probably will not survive to the age this breed is supposed to live.

| I think it's equally important to point out that just bc a pup is priced high, it doesn't mean it's more special, or healthy. Those are the same people who scam the rich and clueless (or careless) like Paris Hilton. They want their dog to be a status symbol, so the more money spent, the better right? The sad thing about the new legislation they are trying to pass, is it indeed only hurts those responsible breeders who follow laws and rules. Do you think that puppymillers who have no conscience and no morals will all of a sudden stop doing what they are doing bc there are new laws? Of course not! They will just ignore the laws like they are doing now. Just like the gun debate. Making it harder for law abiding citizens to get guns is not going to make the criminals stop getting their guns illegally. It's absolute crazyness!

| You are absolutely right, price means nothing. And the more these scammers can get out of you the better. And sadly it's the animals who suffer. |

| Just be very cautious when you find a "cheap" yorkie....it cost a lot of money to do right by these dogs...vet checks, special food for momma, special food for baby, etc.....That is why we reputable breeders will harp and harp about "buy your breeder first"....KNOW what a good breeder insists on....if a breeder says they have to let a baby go at 6-10 weeks old because "grandma is dying in Tim-Buck-Two and I have to rush off....", or any other excuse they come up with....reputable breeders do NOT let babies go early!!! We have contingency plans!! We have back up plans! We dont have ANY "OTHER" plans that will take us away from our babies....we dont go on cruises so we need to dump these newborns at 5 weeks old....we just dont DO THIS!!!!! |

| I disagree....price means a whole bunch, you just need to know how to use the very telling information you are getting by the price....if you find a cheap yorkie, you had better be checking it out carefully....especially if you are getting this cheap yorkie thru one of those sites like Crags list or news paper ads. If you have a "breeder" selling yorkies at 5 weeks-10 weeks old, with a "family death" excuse for dumping the pup, you need to be forewarned...this is not the way reputable breeders do business, and this dog is cheap because no money has gone into the breeding or the care of that baby...there are a lot of stolen and lost dogs that people have found, that are immediately peddled on those ad sites to turn a quick buck. If you are getting a yorkie for, say $4000.00, and the breeder is letting the dog go at 8 weeks old....SCAM! People need to understand and know a scam when they see it, and not base the definition of SCAM! on the price of the dog. If you get a 2016 Corvette for $1500.00, you have enough sense to look at that deal and most people KNOW that is a stolen car or there is a MAJOR issue with that car!!!....if you see a 2016 Corvette for $110,000.00, it will slow you down and make you look closely at the car and who is selling it, conditions of the sell, guarantees offered on the sell or the car, etc..... Overpriced dogs should be looked at carefully, you need to know what you should be getting in a dog, etc.....but a cheap yorkie is immediate cause for question....just like a cheap Corvette.....

| Exactly. Too cheap and too expensive are major red flags. The problem is there are plenty of bybs that sell in that sweet spot as well $1000-2000.
