I know Jo Ann personally so I believe I can speak on this subject.. I bought a female from her in 2009, and a male in 2011, they are both absolutely beautiful. Might I add their coats are very nice. I CHOOSE to keep them cut short because it is easier as they are very active outside. Her puppies are the standard which is between 4-7 lbs, AKC standard. She is a registered breeder through AKC. I have been to her house, it is very clean, the cute dog room, puppy room and play area is cleaner than my house and I have 3 kids!! I have kept in close contact with Jo Ann since I bought my Bella from her 4 yrs ago and she has always been there with any questions I have had about Bella and the breed in general. That is why I went back last year and bought Bleu. If you truly want to know about a breeder contact the breeder and ask to speak with people who have bought a puppy from them. Any good breeder will give you references. That way you are getting an HONEST story and an HONEST opinion from someone who has dealt with them instead of people who make snap judgements from a picture or malicious hearsay.... I dealt with 6 or 7 breeders before I bought my baby from Jo Ann, and I found a breeder I trust. That is why I still take my babies to Jo Ann's for babysitting or to just let them play with her babies. I hope this was helpful and if you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them about Jo Ann please feel free to message me. Have a beautiful day : ) |
