| Def a puppy broker. You want to look for a place that (ideally) has both parents on site. Plus, you want to know the conditions they are raised in and pedigree. Puppy brokers don't provide any of those. |

| Pennsylvania is the Puppymill Capital of the East. I would never buy a puppy from Pennsylvania, Missouri, Oklahoma, or the other infamous puppymill states sight unseen over the internet. |

| I took a look at their website. At lst I thought they were ok but I do think their just a broker, so to speak. But under the Testimonials, I only read a few, their were breeder names of Stoltzfus & Lapp and those are Amish names. Not that all people with those last names are Amish. Also it said "they comply with all PA standards" or something like that. Well as of not too long ago, PA's standards for dog breeders weren't all that good that's why we have so many PuppyMills in our state. You have to do what's best for yourself. Maybe check it out and see. You'll know if it doesn't feel right.

| Looks like a broker. I would stick with the YT family. Find out who they have gotten their babies from. |

| That site is scary....not too sure about that. My sister and brother in law are in Mohnton PA, kinda inbetween Lancaster and Berks County and they are also members here. I know they just bred Ally so she will have puppies in a few months and my girl is also a breeder, she is off for awhile cause she had a c-section but if you want to go look they are at Ferragame's Yorkshire Terriers |
