"Iffy" to me is a site that has multiple breeds & the site always having puppies available. Also breeders whom's "stories" change and will tell you one thing and then later something different. Accepting Credit cards & paypal spooks me . I also agree with Brittany's comment about the deposits. Charging ridiculous prices. I recommend anyone researching a breeder to also google the breeders or kennels name. Tweek your key words and see what kind of info you can find. Someone mentioned Jeff Dane earlier, he sells tons of pups, always has many available, sells several breeds I'm sure he has sold healthy , cute pups but I can't even began to tell you how many negative things are out there about him. I counted 29 available pups on just
one ( he has several) of his sites. He's selling Poms, ****zus, Yorkies, Poodles, Chihuahuas and mixed breeds on this particular one..haven't checked his other sites today. I'm using his site as an example of one that screams "iffy" to me. Here are some of the hits I found on him. I must say that I have read about him for several years now on several dog related websites and many forums. When you see something like you need to be very careful and make sure this is the breeder you feel good about buying from. The following are hits I found on the web about this breeder.
