| This is the message I got when I clicked on the link.. This account has been suspended. Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources. |

| i personally wouldn't buy from anyone with a name like that WORLD kennel. Even without being able to look at the site, i can figure out that it probably is a puppymill. |

| I agree with Sugar's Mom...the name alone would make me go in another direction.

| The link still isn't working, I did a search and found her phone number 323-823-1803 pop that in a search and you will get some more info on how she advertises. She sells teacups and toys, there is your first red flag.

| Hi. I'm brand new to the Yorkie board and this is my first post. I read your question and thought I might share my experiences with you. Nobody can tell you what YOU SHOUDL do. My humble advice though is that you go into it with your eyes wide open. Look at the pedigree, if the pup comes from the midwest and has a broker, you are dealing with a mill dog. If that is ok with you, and you know what you are buying, you can't complain later on. It is a quick and dirty deal. You give them the cash and they give you the pup. No questions asked. The problem is that you will be financially supporting the misery of dogs back at the mill. The puppies that get out of there are the lucky ones. Then there are the breeders who make you jump through hoops to even be considered for the opportunity to give them $3,000 for one of their puppies. I was on one website that was so snotty, I was amazed. I would love to post the link but I don't want to get in trouble on my first post! Personally, I would buy from a BYB before a puppy mill. Many BYB's treat their animals very well and you may get a very decent puppy from them. There are many "show kennels" that are really byb's. They breed dogs to sell and that may be your opportunity to purchase a decent puppy. I wasn't able to use the link that you provided so you have to decide if you are dealing with a BYB or a mill and if you are willing to buy from a mill. People are probably going to object to any endorsement of a BYB but then again, many breeders fall in that category but they don't want to admit it. In reality, somebody has to supply the demand for the purebred puppies people want and a show kennel that keeps most of it's stock for show, is not going to be able to meet that demand because their objective is not breeding pets is it? Good luck. |

| Very good points! I am just confused now, what makes someone a breeder and a BYB and I know mills are not clean and would like to stay away from them thats for sure. |

| I think also that when you say T-cups or Toys, its also used in a sale scheme, dont blame some of the people for using it , heck they may not even turn out to be teacups once older |
