She can say whatevr she wants on her website -- it could all be true or it could all be fabricated. There is no way to know if you can't find some people who can vouch for her directly. You need to go to her home and see what you can find out but I would suggest you do not buy a puppy right away and see how she reacts. The horror stories I've heard from puppy buyers make it necessary to be like this. Even big "show breeders" sometimes treat pet buyers very badly AFTER the sale is made. They are nice, nice, nice until they don't need to be anymore. I've seen it happen and it amazes me that people can be like that and live with themselves but they do. |
concerns would be....
the mix breed
the absence of the adults and any information on the parents
all past puppies are from 2007, you do not see what they may look like when mature, so she may be a new breeder.
uses credit cards for payments
good luck in your search
