I agree with Cindy, the Better Business Bureau doesn't care if she's a reputable breeder. If you have trouble with her, they will put that in their file, and that's about all. I would never recommend a breeder such as this. First of all, the dogs are ACA registered, which is not a reputable registry, so registration means nothing. She breeds mixes, and no reputable breeder does this, the idea behind breeding is to be able to predict with confidence what kind of puppy you will produce, when you mix breeds, you have no idea what you'll get, and the dogs often wind up in shelters. Another thing that shows she's not a good breeder is that you can win a puppy in a contest; no reputable breeder would ever do that. What if the person who wins the contest can't provide a suitable home? Reputable breeders are very careful about puppy placement, and try to only place puppies in homes where people meet certain requirements. Please look elsewhere for a dog. I always recommend people check out how the dogs are being raised in person, buying over the Internet, is no different than buying from a pet store. |
