Geisha....
I'm VERY sorry as to what happened to you and to the others. I don't want to get anyone mad at me or make enemies, but I have been to the (tinydarling) breeder's home. This is where I got my puppy and I can assure everyone the puppies are well taken care of. I can understand how upset everyone is and I'm not exactly sure what happened in every's case. I guess I am one of the fortunate ones.
This is my story....I was looking for a breeder in my area so that I wouldn't have to have a puppy flown to me. I feel that flying a puppy stresses it out considerably. I also wanted to see the home my puppy was raised in and the parents. I looked on the internet for breeders within driving distance from me. I found tinydarlings. The puppies were reasonably priced and by the testimonies it appeared that she had many satisfied customers. I gave her a deposit via Paypal and then I gave her the remainer of the money once I picked up my puppy.
I was reluctant to write this post because I don't want to get in the middle of anything, but I want everyone to know that her dogs ARE healthy, well taken care of and they are living in her home. She has food readily available for them. She also told me to leave food out for my puppy. I don't...I feed him 3 times a day. I want everyone to know that It's NOT a puppy mill. I swear. I'm not sure how all this happened and I'm not defending her actions because I'm not sure of all the circumstances. I just know my OWN story and I know how her dogs/puppies are being cared for and treated. My puppy is in tip top health. Thank God. That's all I really wanted to convey in this post, that the dogs are not abused and are being fed.
I hope everything works out for everyone involved.
Here is a good place to look for local breeders to all those looking for a new puppy:
