For me it's nothing personal against the broker or the breeder. I don't know them. I have yet to hear of brokers provide the following:

*Name of the breeder and contact info
*History of health problems in the line
*Guarantee pup for health
*Show parents in person
*provide lifetime support

Though these may be nice caring people. I think they way the place puppies is completely wrong. First, these young puppies are stressed uneccessarily moving from the breeders home to the broker, then from the broker to the new owner. That is extremely tramatic for a puppy.

Biewers are being brokered in the US like you wouldn't believe. Most of them are being sold for breeding by brokers. Brokers arent' telling these breeders how to register litters, they don't know the lines, they don't offer guarantees, they do not really know the history, they lie and say people can only buy puppies from them, and they are selling Biewers that are not within the standard for breeding...Biewers with mostly white are not good candidates for breeding. I've heard brokers say teh opposite. You want more white. They may be nice people who love dogs but that's just wrong. Don't forget these little pups are being shipped from Germany and kept at the broker until they are sold, then again shipped to the new owners house. That is cruel!..All for what..the mighty buck!!

I would like to add some breeders are just as crappy and shady.

I don't want to make anyone feel bad if they have bought through a broker. I hope you have had a good experience, hopefully those that are looking for a puppy will just be careful.
