We are trying to save you from heartache, but if you don't care about us caring about you, then there is nothing else we can do. We still post and answer posts such as yours bc there are many people who just read and lurk and we do NOT want more people thinking that buying from this type of place is acceptable.
You are supporting a miller, and if she's not a miller, she at least a large scale back yard breeder. You are not saving that puppy, you are putting money in the miller's pocket so they can continue to exploit these beautiful innocent creatures.
So you already put money down on a pup, if you walk away now, that deposit will be a drop in the bucket of money lost compared to the vet bills it will accrue if it has any type of illness, and any illnesses or genetic conditions may not arise until later. Puppymill dogs can be ticking time bombs.
This lady is not going to put up upset customer testimonials, she's only gonna put up positive ones. Who even knows if they are true. Why don't you try the email thing someone suggested earlier, I really think it's a good idea. Why you believe every single thing this woman tells you and not us is beyond me. We are trying to help you. Like i said before, we are not trying to get your money, she is. She will say anything to you to get you to believe her so you can send her more money! |

Her testimonials all sounded like the puppies were very good and taken care of and almost all of them said that their puppy smelled great and that they were groomed nicely unlike some other breeders they've bought from! Also one of them said that her kennels were very well kept and the fact that she allows people to come in a check out the kennels makes it seem to me that they should be in good shape also it said that all the dogs looked healthy and happy and that they trusted her with their puppy! I don't think its any of yours business of stating your opinions about were I'm getting my puppy and that I should buy from a shelter because were do you think most of those dogs come from a puppy mill, so they will be ungroomed and smelly too and I did look at shelters first and none of them in my area had any dog that would fit my lifestyle and where and how I am getting my dog is my business and i started this post not to get overexcited people to start posting on telling me not to get a dog from somewhere that they think is bad which is wrong of you to do that  , that harsh when after the moment i saw it and fell in love and already put money down on it have people criticize me for trying to adopt my first family puppy but i put it up so that people could appreciate and feel happy that someone s adopting a puppy for their family and have a few questions! i can't believe how far some of you will go and it's kind of disturbing and this site was put up so that people with yorkies or a mix of a yorkie could just nicely share stories about there dogs or any questions that they had but to you people you get far to into and post rude and hurtful comments and it sometimes go way to far!  ...but thanks for your help and advise but i am going to get my puppy because she deserves a loving home just as much as another puppy from anywhere else!!!   |
Even if a rescue/shelter dog came from a puppy mill originally, you are not lining the pockets of a known "greeder" - you are giving a home to an animal in need - a very different scenario than knowingly handing over your hard-earned money to a miller or BYB.
And not all rescues or shelter dogs are "ungroomed and smelly." In fact, if you were to look into a reputable rescue, I guarantee that they will be MUCH better taken care of than a dog from a puppy mill. My pup was a rescue. He was surrendered for being too hyperactive (code for his original owners were probably too busy or lazy to train him), lived in a loving foster home, and then came to me clean and in good health. He is the best dog I could have ever asked for.
IMO, I'd rather help out a forgotten, ungroomed and smelly pup from a rescue than support a miller. I just couldn't in good conscience give them my money for a puppy that will most likely be sick.
I wish you the best of luck with your new pup. It sounds like you've already made up your mind. I just wish you would listen to advice rather than brushing off the helpful information others have given you. It just might save you future heartbreak.
