His daughter, about 16, raises the maltese. He owns two other breeding facilities as well as his own. He has lovely kennels with indoor and outdoor areas. My pups (not brother and sister) had a litter in May, also healthy beautiful babies. I was told Bronx father was 2.5 pounds, the mothers are generally around 7. One of my pups is 3# at almost 5 months. The others are 4, 6 and 7. I don't believe them to be full grown, but they are great puppies, they are not nervous, sickly, scrawny. I don't want to upset everyone, but I do tire of the Jeff-bashing. |
i'll certainly keep you posted on my friend's new puppy. i have to say i'm REALLY glad i asked. honestly, i'd like to hear more positive than negative about a breeder but i just can't balk at so many past experiences that were not good. as an owner i'd rather be safe than sorry.
you're very fortunate to have seen your pups before buying. i think every owner should do so. again, i hope my friend's purchase will prove successful.
PS your babies are VERY cute!
