I everyone thanks for all your posting and opinions. WELL I WENT AND CHECKED HER OUT YESTERDAY. When i was driving their its about 2 hrs away from me i really thought i was going to see a puppy mill and prepared myself for it. My boyfriend is from Indiana and i seen them before it a horrible site. Honestly her website saying that she had a big dog house and all that made me worry it really makes you think she is a puppy mill. She lives in a very beautiful area it was so clean and fresh. Living in Chicago and the crowded suburbs the air quality their was amazing. When i pulled up to her house it was really cute when we got out of the car we were greeted by a big lab and a few older Malteses. When i really looked at her house all i seen in her yard in this very green grass were a bunch of bright white cute little fluff balls running around. Barb greeted me vary quickly as she was out playing with them. She is a very nice woman. I felt so much better because She is absolutely NOT a puppy mill.. The house where she keeps her dogs is only a few feet away from her house. And she also keeps them in her house as well. Its really cute they really have their own house. NO cages no nothing like that She did have very big play pens for the little ones can play and wont run away to far because she has a lot of land. Everything was very clean and having that many dogs you would think it would have a urine smell but absolutely nothing very fresh. And her dogs were very clean she spends a lot of time giving them baths and cleaning their faces because they were all very clean and white. Her website really doesn't do her justice. Well we got to talking and i asked her all the hard questions and she passed with me. She does this for a living she says this is all she does and it looked to me like she was telling the truth because everything looked so taken care of. i didn't even step in a piece of poop with 20 little ones running around my feet. You can tell she loves her dogs and the breed. We began to look for a dog for me and all the dogs outside were so cute and beautiful but non stood out to me like yes this is my dog. So she said hold on ill be right back and she came out her house with my new baby girl. You know that feeling when its like yes that is the one. I didn't even want to look at any other puppies. Barb is a very good match maker.
Well now i have a new baby girl and oh my god is she cute. I will post pictures. i did not end up with GiGi i ended up with a 4 month old baby girl. She comes with a one year health warranty but said she does take her dogs back if something was not to work out. And will give you a different dog. But im keeping her. She fits right in with my yorkies they love her. I think she is a wonderful person to buy a dog from. My little girl in healthy clean and very well socialized. i ended up giving her a bath because my boyfriend is not used to pure white dogs and on the way home we got Mcdonalds and he got ketchup on her (boys...
). but She was really good with the bath and it didn't bother her at all nor did the blow dryer. I put her in a cage last night with my yorkies and all she did was whine. She is not used to cages at all and does not like them so she slept with us. She is amazing at potty training she goes immediately when we take her out. She has her vet check tomorrow. I really had a really wonderful experience with this breeder. And would recommend her to anyone looking for a Maltese.
sorry that was long
