| Advertising banners placed on our forum... I have grave misgivings about Diva Pup Breeders' Network being advertised at the top of our page. I spent some time looking at this site and it screams "Major Puppymill" and/or "Shady Puppybroker" at me. This one is about the money in tiny dogs. The "weight at maturity" forecasts are not realistic. Tiny puppies have a way of growing bigger than expected. The registrations are questionable in some cases. For instance, to my knowledge, there is no such thing as a "limited AKC registration." The pictures are cute and evoke just the right response, but if anyone is considering paying their big bucks prices, PLEASE be aware that you are probably not buying excellence in this breed. We've had some very heart rending posts on this forum about less than reputable breeders and I would hate to have others disappointed. Just my thoughts..... Mary Ellen |

| I will temporarily suspend advertising for DivaPup.com on our site for the time being. It will take Google a few hours for them to update the advertising, so it may still show up for a few hours... I will alert Divapup and let them respond to your concerns. Thanks for bringing it up Higgin's Mom! We definitely don't want to steer people the wrong way, however, I do feel they should have a chance to respond to your questions and concerns. |

| THIS is scarry ... I seldom click on ad banners but did click on the one on our site. I had the oddest feeling as I looked throughout the site, especially the puppies! I almost voiced concern ... should have but didn't. It was just several things ... and a feeling "something" just wasn't right! So, thanks Mary Ellen and Fasteddie for addressing these concerns!!
