I bought my puppy on-line. I probably made a mistake by giving my life-history of Abigail before I even gave the breeder a chance to ask a question. Hermione has a completely different disposition than our Abigail had (rip) - and I wonder if the breeder we used is not also either a "mill" or byb. They breed 3 types (that I know of) - Hermione's mom already has another litter (Hermione is 10 months old) - they advertise "teacups" and AKC registered, but when I got papers - Hermione is ACA . . . the list of "bad" traits goes on and on. I am still in touch with the breeder, send her pictures regularly which she uses on her site - but she never would let me come to her house/kennels. She said she was worried about me (or anyone) bringing disease to her her farm. When I met her husband at a truck stop on the highway to pick Hermione up, she had fleas - and then later that day proceeded to throw up all the yucky food they fed her. She has just now learned to eat from a bowl - prefers the food thrown on the ground. idk sometime I would like one of the "old people" on this site who are in the know to pm me and I will share the name of the breeder. I don't want to rui a reputation if they are really a good "company". But - would hesitate recommending them at this point.

Just by what you shared I can tell you there not a good breeder.
