This woman is a BIG time broker who sells puppies from puppy mills. She actually has several different websites, selling a few breeds of dogs. After I had already been warned about her, I had been responding to some adds online for puppies for sale(adds with no info) and this woman actually contacted me. Her email was so sappy and she tries to come off like these pups are her life, it makes me sick. I responded back to her that I'm in no way interested in doing business w/a puppy broker who sells puppies from puppy mills. That it takes a certain type of cold heartlessness to do what she does & people know all about her! I'm very bothered that this woman is able to keep the BBB logo on her page.. Because people who haven't heard about her, are being sucked into her BS & she's making money that obviously she doesn't deserve.. The only thing that she deserves is a 8x8 jail cell.. I don't mean to sound harsh but I'm a huge animal lover and I'm absolutely disturbed by people like this.. |
You bring up some important points. One is that these people often have multiple websites to reach as many different people as possible. If one website doesn't do it for you another might make you feel this is the perfect breeder. She doesn't divulge the fact that she isn't a breeder, only a broker, and “salesman” are often very personable, so people think they have purchased a dog from a wonderful breeder, that is until something goes wrong. This is one of the reasons, not to buy from a website, you have no idea where the puppies have come from or how the breeding dogs are treated, go see a breeder in person and develop a relationship with them, a good breeder will want to make sure that a Yorkie is the right fit for you.
