| Has anyone heard of Kuddle Bug Puppy in NY? Has anyone heard of Kuddle Bug Puppy in the catskills of NY? I am considering buying a puppy at 7 months old from her. She is 3.20 pounds I believe. Im near Boston so a 5 hr ride to there. Thank you |

| Kuddle Bug Puppies Doesn't list her guarantee on her website. She also breeds 4lb females! She states "I make my living doing this" I would look elsewhere!

| A breeder living off the back of her dogs is one to stay away from...... A Reptuable breeder takes care of their dogs not the other way around.

| She does have a 1 yr health policy. I've spent a good amount of time talking with her. Yesterday I talked with her vet for a while and he had nothing but good to say on her. Should I ask for other references? I don't see anything wrong with someone staying home because she's in her 50's or 60's. But I'm no expert It's just very few breeders are near home and hard to know anything real living this far away. |

| Standard says "under 7lbs" that doesn't mean to breed a 4lb female. Reputable breeders would NEVER breed a 4lb female, too risky!

| Nope standard is under 7lbs. I am sure the puppy is really cute, I haven't found too many "ugly" puppies in my days! You can't buy on looks alone, you should always buy the breeder first! Good Luck!

Litter box trained.....and??????????????????? I don't care how nice this person is. Anyone can talk the talk. She is still living off the backs of her dogs....Again I repeat no reputable breeder does this. She is breeding to sell puppies only.

| Here is a strange story connected to this breeder. I'm not sure if she actually has a pet store that she is selling her puppies at or not: PetsByPets

And in defense of the breeder; a puppy may be trained in the breeders home. Knowing where the proper place to go in a new home needs to be taught......The purchasers of the new puppy were in my opinion just a bit wacked.

The thing I was curious, was if she actually has a "store" that she is selling puppies from as mentioned in the article.
