Of the two, I know what kind of dog I'd rather own.
Since the Biewer Terrier isn't a recognized breed in the USA (yet), there's is no show ring. All Biewer breeders are really just glorified backyard breeders.
That said, Terry raises some of the very nicest Yorkies. Home raised, well adjusted, friendly happy little pups. You sure can't say that about a lot of "Reputable" breeders.
Florida has some of the toughest breeder laws in the country. All Terry's pups are vet checked by law before she can sell them. Of course if you sell enough pups some of them will have health problems. That happens with "reputable" breeders too and it's tragic when it happens. A good breeder will offer a replacement pup and I understand Terry does that as any good breeder should.
Terry is raising really adorable very small cute puppies with great personality. That's what people want and they are willing to pay really big bucks to own one. I did. Our little Zander is wonderful. He is so full of life and spunk it's clear he was well raised in a loving family home.
In this forum I don't hear helpful people trying to offer advice and support. What I hear really sounds like jealousy. |
Really? Seriously? I am going to tap your shoulder gently and whisper in your ear "you have no idea what you are talking about"...there is a ton of information here on YT and if you had come here sooner you would probably not have purchased from Terry. and jealous????? That's just almost insulting, I paid 2500.00 for my Mini, and so far more than $20,000 in vet bills...ahhhh, yes I'm jealous.....btw, even though you have insulted me, I will be here when and if you need my help...I really hope it works out well for you and your pup, as I said in my pm...Welcome to YT!
