Novice puppy buyer needs help - anyone heard of Castellan House Kennels and/or a cross breed of a Yorkshire terrier and a toy poodle?

Dd1 has been asking for a dog since she could talk. I know exactly how she feels, because I was the same at her age. She's pretty much talked us in to it now as youngest child is 4 and a half and think we could manage. Need a dog that can manage a big walk if we can manage one but could also get by on a day or two of no big walk.

She does nothing but look up dogs on the internet and has fallen for a cross between a yorkshire terrier and a toy poodle - being sold by castellan house kennels see here. They seem to have lots of dogs for sale which worries me a bit as have read bad things about puppy farms - but are some mass breeders OK?

Any tips on how to find out, or other suggestions of where to start? Sorry, bit clueless but know you lot can probably help!

Oh and if you do see dd1, don't tell her as want it to be a surprise

Thanks all for your really good and useful advice. I/we have indeed fallen in love with a puppy pic on t'interweb which is a bit but am confident we could manage some sort of small dog so maybe need to go back to drawing board/ make more enquiries. Am LOVING the maltalier. Basically want a dog that looks like a collie puppie all its life and that seems to fit the bill (as does the yoodle if you look at pic)

Please keep advice coming and thanks so much for getting back to me, you are awesome
