"Save Me"



Yorkies in Cage

We here at PuppyMills.com intend to inform you the new puppy buyer of ways to protect yourself and insure that when you do buy your puppy that you are getting one from a Reputable Breeder. If you have found this page congratulations! you're on the right track and the first piece of advice we can give you is Take Your Time! Make an informed decision and we're here to help you do just that. We're going to help you do the research for making your decision and give you the tools to make that a little bit easier.

The Yorkshire Terrier is the ninth most popular dog in the United States right now and so unfortunately it makes it vulnerable to their number one "Predator" the "Humans" that operate PuppyMills in the United States. PuppyMills sell a lot of their puppies to Pet Stores so stay away from Pet Stores that sell puppies. We haven't supported those type of Pet Stores for many years now. They also sell a lot of Puppy's over the Internet and offer to ship anywhere. Be very careful of this kind of seller. Most Reputable Breeders would never think of distributing their precious bloodlines in that manner. Nor do we do business with Veterinarians that give the health certificates and examinations that the Pet Stores offer.

The Yorkshire Terrier is probably one of the most beautiful and charming dogs in the world today so if that is the breed you have chosen, we here at PuppyMills.com can completely understand why you want one. For most of us here it was a Love At First Sight Phenomenon. Yes, it is a pretty, adorable, cute and irresistible little character but there's more to it than that. Read the Standard that AKC has set up for us to follow.

Below you will find information about puppymills, and how to stop them, be aware of them, and how to recognize them. There is also health information and contracts you can use when purchasing a new puppy from a breeder. Read letters that have been sent to us as well as stories of personal experiences with breeders and pet stores. We hope that you will find this information useful.

Buying a New Puppy? Liver Shunt Test ALERT

Do not buy any puppy unless it has had a bile acids test run before and after eating and you have seen the results of the test. Liver Shunt is running rampant in many breeds of dogs right now and especially in Yorkshire Terriers. Don't suffer the heartbreak and expense of finding you have purchased a Liver Shunt Puppy and insist that this test be run prior to putting a deposit on the puppy. Any responsible breeder will be more than happy to have their veterinarian run this very simple blood test on their puppies. Breeders please start testing your puppies before you sell them.

Do you know anyone who has had a problem with a so-called "teacup" Toy dog? Or do you know someone who might know someone who has? Physical or mental. A television reporter is looking for people willing to speak out. People innocently buy these puppies believing that there is such a thing as a "teacup" which is a marketing term used by unscrupulous backyard breeders and puppy mills to describe anomalies.
Please send those people to me so I can send the contact info to the reporter.
