I researched a ton of breeders before choosing her and chose her because of the care gives to each dog she owns and each litter she produces. She truly goes above and beyond for her dogs...she is in a class all her own!

But you see, no one here does know this breeder. We only knew what you were telling us and we didn't know that you had mistaken the ages you got them.

I realize this thread has taken a turn you didn't expect. Please try to understand our point of view in wanting to educate everyone, and that was the intent of a lot of the posts on your thread today. They weren't so much directed at you as they were to any newcomer to the breed who may be looking for a puppy and who may be reading this thread. There have been many sad, tragic stories of pups brought home way too young from very poor breeders (this statement is not by any means talking about your breeder or your babies), and many of us have suffered the hearbreak right along with the new pet owner. We take advantage of our opportunities to make sure no one else ever has to suffer through that pain again. I'm sorry your that thread seemed to be one chosen to deliver our message.
