Does any one no of any Yorkie farms around the Dallas, Texas area?

Answer 1

Find a good breeder by going to www.akc.org or talking to people at dog shows. You can also find info about the breed clubs on the akc site - they probably have a rescue group where you can get an older dog for less money. The best breeders will be members of their breed club, promoting healthy dogs with great temperaments. They should ask you a bunch of questions to make sure their puppy will be getting a good home. If all a "breeder" seems to care about is whether your check will clear, you can be sure he won't care a week later when the pup is dying from distemper or parvo and you want your money back.

Whatever you do, DON'T go to a pet shop, a "puppy farm", a flea market or buy one sight-unseen off the Internet!!!! You'll pay top dollar for what is usually a poor quality puppy mill dog. And you'll be supporting one of the cruelest industries in the country. The breeding animals are often kept in deplorable conditions - spending their entire lives in small wire-bottomed cages. They probably haven't been vaccinated against contagious diseases or tested for any health or temperament problems or genetic diseases - that costs money and cuts into their profits. A female is often bred every time she comes into heat. When her poor little body can't take it any more, she is often clubbed in the head and tossed into a dumpster or an open ditch. Most puppy mills ship their pups to pet stores at wholesale prices and many pups die before they even get there.

These so-called "breeders" have now figured out that they can use the internet to ship a dog directly to the customer and thus make more money by cutting out the middleman. If you buy a dog from out of state, good luck getting your money back if there's something wrong with the pup. These people count on you becoming instantly attached to the poor little guy and being willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars at the vet to treat whatever is wrong with him.

Answer 2

Don't go to a puppy mill. go to petsmart & adopt. They have all kinds of dogs & cats every weekend. Or go to the Dallas humane society. Or go tothe Dallas S.P.C.A. Just DON'T go to a puppy mill. Puppy mills are BAD. They abuse the animals, make them stay in dark places in small cages & are used for nothing but breeding until they die from having too many puppies. Often the puppies are sick from the abuse. If anything, if you do find any in Dallas, report them to the humane society or the S.P.C.A. These people need to be put away somewhere & get the same treatment they give those poor animals. I live in Texas too. And I wish I could say there are no puppy mills in Texas. Unfortunately, there are.

Answer 3

If anyone does then the farm or puppy mill should be reported because what they are doing is illegal and the people responsible need to go to prison. I would be happy to take them myself if I lived nearby.

Answer 4

lets keep it correct, they are not yorkie farms they are PUPPY MILLS, breeding for the sole purpose of making as much money as they can!
