Im not the arguing type, and Im truly not trying to start an argument here....but I think these quotes are a little unfair. OP came here to ask OPINIONS, and that is strictly what she got. Both good and bad. I for one gave good and bad opinions and I think Susan and Stardust have received mixed reviews. Thats is pretty typical. I dont think there is a breeder out there who is perfect and when things happen, say for instance, health issues, etc, I think those stories are necessary to hear. To hear how Susan handled these situations is important and for me, seeing that would sway my decision one way or the other. For Susan, I think she has been for the most part upstanding in her practices. She is honest about what she does and where the pups are coming from.
People are getting upset that everyone is giving their 2 cents....but Im sorry, isnt that the meaning of a forum?!!?!?
Amy came on here and asked what we know. She received many reviews and from what she has posted, she received more positive input than negative. IMO, I think now that Amy has heard both good and bad stories, she can now feel a bit better about her decision to visit with Susan. I for one thinks thats pretty cool and feel like we helped a new Yorkie Mom!! Thats at least why I replied.
Although I understand "one person and her five friends" may come on here and bash and give bad reviews about someone who probably isnt all that bad a person, I personally think thats where a TRUE breeder reputation steps in. A good breeder can speak for themselves through ACTION....which is what Ive heard Susan does. From these posts, I have learned that she handled a situation with one of her pups that passed away with compassion and professionalism by replacing the pup and helping with expenses.....well, even though my friend received a pup with a hernia problem, after having read these other stories about Stardust, I would feel better about purchasing from her because through these stories and opinions on here we learned she truly cares!!
So, I humbly feel its a little unfair to put people down for their opinions. Disagreeing is one thing, but I dont think their wrong to post their thoughts....who are we to tell each other how to think? We are all just learning from each other here and I think THATS GREAT!!
Sorry so long winded, but thats JMHO!!!
