Kathryn,
Your description of Elizabeth is not the same as mine for a Broker. So I don't lump her into the same pile. Don't you feel bad for one minute. Puppymills are in the same shady category as are unethical breeders. The work 'broker' is ugly and IMO not appropriate when placing puppies. But looking beyond the word.
Before this post I would have said all brokers are bad, but if Elizabeth's considered a broker, then I'd have to say 'depends'. I still don't like how the entire adoption is handled and the costs involved. But she may not like what I do. 99.9% of people that operate the way Divapup does are they typical stereotype unfortunately.
