No, Tara, I would NEVER use a broker. I know what is in my home and what isn't. With a broker, they go and buy these pups from anywhere. You don't know what kind of diseased homes some of these pups came from. Why would I subject my puppies to this kind of sickness?

I want to know what kind of homes my babies are going to. I want to know if the people will give my babies the one on one interaction that I've been doing. I want to know that my babies will be spoiled rotten!

There is a broker that live near me (about 30 minutes). Anyway, she had called up a breeder in town and just "had to show her this tiny male!" Well, the broker showed up and the breeder wouldn't let her through the door nor would she even touch the puppy. This puppy was tiny, yes, but also very sick and malnourished. The breeder wouldn't touch the pup because she didn't want to pass anything on to her litter.

I've never spoken to a broker and don't know that I would. I like to think of them as a drug dealer. They get their supply and sell them to whoever wants them. They aren't picky nor do most of them care. Just who has the $$$.
