I have never been afraid or embarrassed to support my family or friends or concerned for receiving criticism for my support of them, if I feel they are in the right. And I would not hide the fact that I am their friend or love them, what does that have to say for itself?

As far as exposing someone to danger, we had a member that was doing the right thing by making the public aware they needed to check references and paperwork before buying or selling a dog of this breed in that area, it could have been a breeder, hobby breeder or backyard breeder. Your friend/loved one is the one THAT CHOSE to confirm it was her...Her website gives more information about her and her practices than was ever exposed on here.

Now, the one thing I would love to address is your thoughts on rehoming animals from SHELTERS......My opinion on this does not include the aid of helping individules rehome animals.....If an animal comes from the shelter, they are ADOPTED. Shelters do not make it a practice to put down a purebreed dog...they know of all the rescues and send them off to them. Alot of good homes are available to animals, and alot of familes would love to have a small, cute dog. But can not afford to purchase a $1500 dog, and give it the medical attention it needs, however, they can adopt a dog (usually for under $100) and give it the medical attention it needs. Yes, there is an adoptiong fee. That fee goes to food, shots, medical care, nutering, spaying, cleaning supplies etc of each animal. Sure isn't enough to care for the animal, is it?? Now, lets say this nice caring breeder comes into the shelter, and picks over the good animals and takes 2 with them. They clean them up, groom them and them puts them on their website to rehome them,,,Why would the rehoming fee be $100-$2000. Couldn't be medical, because the shelters would not adopt out an animal needing that kind of medical attention. Perhaps $100 to cover the cost of what they have in the animal but anything more is profiting from the animal. Now, is this breeder going to disclose the fact that animal is from the shelter, are they going to ask $100-$2000 and tell people the problems this animal may have for a lifetime!!! or is it going to be sold for $400 to a family that can afford a small animal that they can care for,,,,My thought yes, that is just what will happen, then this family has a dog that might not be able to be crated at all, never learns correct potty habits, then finds itself back in another shelter to have this happen over and over again. While that very caring breeder can set back and say, oh, look at all those poor dogs I have saved from death.... while she has $800 feathering her purse.. The shelter would have $200 that has already went to the care of the other two dogs that the breeder adopted, to continue trying to care for hundreds of MUTTS that no one wants,,

Angels from heaven comes in many forms, I don't thing there is one that will be making profit from animals that have already been through what shelter dogs have been, nor do I think you earn wings for being deceitful to people about the true history of something you charge a REHOMING fee for. I wonder if your friend/loved one has ever thought, what if God came into her life as a cute little doggie and she done this to him, would he be smiling on her?????? What if he came as a child, whom when she put that cute little doggie in her arms, that child took the dog home, only to have it peeing all over the house and that child had to give up that little dog that she loved so much,,, would God be happy with that??????

If I saw your friend/loved one today, I would not be unkind to her, I would love her just as I do my neighbors. However, I do not beleive she is doing somethings right, and I feel she needs to learn the true love of the lord, It's not guoting scripture trying to defend actions she has taken, nor should she use it in promoting her business. She might want to try living it. That will take her alot further in life, and to the most important part of life, the end..My hope and prayer for her, is she learns something from all of this and promotes good business practices,,, when you do right by the public and disclose all information, she will strengthen her name and business... no one can make changes to our reputation except ourselves....you guys can spend time and energy on looking to blame this forum for her downfall or look at some of the concerns people seem to have to improve her image to the public. Wishing you both the best.....Sharon
