I really do not want to argue about this.... but my dog is from a wonderful breeder in Missouri. She is healthy,sweet,extremely well socialized,AKC, and I got her through Divapup....a broker. Elizabeth who runs Divapup is a breeder of Maltese dogs and Chinese Crested dogs. She has them in her home with her family...they are extremely well loved and cared for by the greatest vet in the world who also happens to be my vet. She demands the same from the breeders that she represents. I know her personally and she is the warmest and most knowledgeble animal lover I have ever met...I have never heard anything from the breeders on YT that she doesn't do as well.I was given a great health guarentee and when I did visit the vet for a runny nose which turned out to be nothing...she paid for it. I was able to see Vivi's parents and given all the info on the breeder. I know this thread is going to turn into a broker bashing thread but there are those out here that had great experiences and I think it is important that you hear something positive from someone who has actually had the experience. And in no way does Divapup support puppymills...Elizabeth is an activist against them.
