Last year I did start to defend her, and I did buy Brooklyn from her because she supposedly started her own breeding program. She sent me info to read about it and I thought it was a good program. For three years I advocated NOT buying from her and she was aware of this. It took three years for her to earn my trust and it was ONLY AFTER she said she had her own breeding program.
As far as Brooklyn is concerned. I had an issue with her coughing like Mia when we got her, HOWEVER she told me upfront about it and she said it was from the kennel cough vaccine. We had no health issues since. And, this is why we went back.
I did research other breeders. I've learned a lot here on YT and did buy with my heart however it's not only the byb that are selling tinies for profit. I contacted several breeders from YTCA and only two of them said they would not sell a tiny to anyone, that they rehome them or keep them. One was willing to sell her tiny for $3,000 with an open font and the other was willing to sell their tiny for $3,500 and NEITHER asked about any experience I had. There are good and bad in all and the best lesson learned is to investigate EVERYONE including your best breeders before buying. Through this I have found when money is involved that it's very hard to find anyone reputable. I know that will cause a stir but it is how I feel.
I have no idea why this breeder would contact you not knowing you, why you and not someone else, but whatever. Really makes no sense unless you know and are friendly with them.
You keep saying I should tell the whole story, but I have emails. Did she supply you with info. other then my vet bills and her say so on what has happened? I don't think so or you would not have come on here so staunchly defending her/them. defending her.
I do not negate I was wrong in buying from them. I said that right along and I knew I'd take heat for it, but let's not take away from the fact they are bad breeders and I hope this is a lesson about buying with your heart and that even someone educated when they have that want will sometimes over look warning signs. I did not have to post this thread. I knew I'd take heat for buying and knowing better, but I did it so that it may be a lesson for someoen else.

I assume she called because of my posts. I assure you I had never heard of them until you posted.
One thing about me is I am not a liar.
