I have a very nice set up outside on my deck with lots of nice furniture for the comfort of my "guests". Yes I consider visitors to be guests. If one is invited to be my guest then you have passed many tests before we ever get to the point that you are allowed to visit my residence. Making it easy for commerical facilities? Well so be it. My safety and the safety of my Yorkies comes first. I am sorry that so many cannot see the reasons for caution. If you desire a well bred puppy then one should find a breeder and get to KNOW that breeder. These interactions between buyer and breeder should be kept private at all costs. I feel this thread was not necessary. Yes it is buyer beware but bringing complaints to a public forum should not ever happen after one or two emails with a breeder. As long as this crap happens why would you expect us the change and open our doors to the public. A very good breeder has been raked over the coals today without the original poster ever making any attempt to "get to know her". It is a shame.
For the record I am known in the Yorkie world as one of the hardest breeders to get a puppy from...yet I have many many many happy puppy buyers....and many that have come back for second and third Yorkies. I guess I must be doing something right.

Thank you in advance

The OP simply asked for any reviews on this breeder. There is nothing wrong with that - infact, that's what we've all been told to do before buying a puppy.

I didn't feel anyone was being "raked over the coals". Opinions were given regarding her response. It was very nice that the breeder came on here to explain why she doesn't let people come to her house. Understandable. But you need to remember that the majority of people here don't know you or her. Her website doesn't have too much information about her or her dogs. I know that a lot of show/breeders/exhibitors don't even have websites - they only sell through word of mouth. Then, obviously, there's no need to "inquire" about the breeder and their practices because you already know about them.

I guess what I'm trying to say is - if you're going to put up a website and sell puppies then you really need to be prepared for people to ask questions.

If that't not your thing, then maybe you need to reconsider how you sell your puppies. Like Mary said... there is usually a waiting list for puppies from breeders who people know about.

I didn't know my boy's breeder but I did ask about her. I saw her dogs and loved them. How else was I going to learn about her? When I finally got through a couple of ladies (and you know who you are) I then had the honor of talking with my breeder throughout the 3 months prior to getting my boy. And what an honor it's been! You know she even offered for me to stay at her house when I flew down to get my boy. There's no substitute for having a relationship with your breeder but both parties have to participate in it.

I'd love to see you both come here more often. We all learn something new everyday. Your point of view on customers coming to your house is understandable and I hope that new solutions are found to protect both parties involved.
