She took Mia to the meetup/fundraiser, which was about a 2 hour drive each way. Not sure how that went but I did think it odd that she would risk all the movement, but then perhaps she did not think it safe to leave her home with her two young sons.....
A few things I noticed with some of the statements in the emailed posted above:
not being in it for the money, no profit margin in breeding
1. The reason she got into breeding was to make money at her hobby. Only it has really not paid off because of problems that have cropped up that she is not financially prepared to deal with, things like C sections, hypoglycemia and now this with Mia, it all gets in the way of the profit.
2. if she was not in it for the money, why have such an elaborate web site, talking about why her puppies are worth more, and depending on size, the smaller the more expensive, anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 These prices sound like someone in it for money.
3. Feeding till 12 weeks, BS she often sells them at 8
4. She has tried to fake an AKC pedigree, because through her own words here posted under the name Bitsy, "you can sell them for more with an AKC"
Responsible Pet Owner getting care for a pet She is hobby breeder trying to get free care for a breeding gone wrong
Doing what any rescue group would do hmmmm excuse me, a rescue group takes animals in that need help that have been abandoned, mistreated or surrendered. They do not create problems by breeding puppies, and if I am not mistaken one of the first things a rescue group spends money on if the animal is healthy enough is to have it spayed or neutered.

perfect puppies, hmmmm Mia? cute but less than perfect. I would have loved
to have been the sap that paid $5,000 just to say I had one of the smallest "teacup" puppies in the country. Buyers reading this, wise up, yorkies are not dogs meant to be hidden in your pocket, you help help fuel the need to breed unsafely.
Responsible pet owners don't keep buying and breeding dogs when they can't afford to take care of the ones they have especially while receiving public assistance.
Responsible breeders don't expect people to rally around them and help pay their vet bills, and use a group they formed to guilt and bully into members of it to donating.
Health tests, I wonder???...... I think anyone that would inquire on using her stud service should ask for proof of what heath tests were done to determine if the dog is a viable stud candidate as well as full and documented pedigrees on both her males.
So I am confused, who is Tanisha, either she is a breeder trying to make money, or a hobby breeder loosing money, or an irresponsible pet owner because she choose to own more dogs than she can afford. One thing I am sure of she is not a rescue organization or individual, so regardless of which of the three she is, none of those type of people should be asking let alone EXPECTING donations to fund her vet care.
