Okay, these threads I usually read through and silently agree or disagree. I saw this first when the thread just opened, looked up the Velvet Touch website, and after reading all that's been posted here decided to put my 2cents in.......just my own opinion, mind you.....
1 -
"Teacups" -
no such thing, dislike the term, immediately a turn-off...wouldn't buy from them for just that reason
2 - Breeding females that
tiny -
; wouldn't do it, scary to do it, just plain wrong to do it....so, uh, no thanks.
3 -
the video of the place....
outdoor kennels (and lots of them), many dogs running, jumping....not because they were happy
IMO, but more likely starving for some quality playtime and attention. Well socialized puppies (and adults for that matter)...I think probably not.
And on that note, did I just read there are just
7 employees that work there...to tend to how many dogs and puppies????!!!! Or am I misunderstanding that comment.
In any case, just from the points I made above, if I was looking for a Yorkie or poodle pup, I myself would not consider buying from that kennel no matter how clean it looks or how adorable the pictures are. The above points to me are 3
red flags, so
1, 2, 3 strikes you're out! They may be fine for some people, but not for me.
Oh, and the comments from the owner that I've read about......just put the icing on an already bad tasting cake (IMO)
