My first pup was a puppymill girl. And I did not learned that until I found Yorkiematch. I don't regret buying my girl because I love her. But I learned so much and that's all I'm trying to do. Teach what I know in case it helps someone.
I'm sorry but her definition of t-cup is totally wrong.
When the average person thinks t-cup they think of a dog smaller than 4lbs. Her definition of t-cup: "the American version is quite often finer boned and smaller, with a shorter muzzle and different coat texrure. (referred to as a "t-cup")". I would like to know the source she found that at. Because, after learning my girl came from a puppymill I did alot of research on the breed and never once ran through that phrase. And I have seen some silly information out there. That just leads me to believe that she compare the English version to the US version and gave her opinion.
. There are two coats cotton and silky for the English and for the Americans breeding (and any other country). Those that show prefer silky since it's easier to show so they breed to get a silky coat.
So if an average person wants a t-cup and they buy from her thinking there going to get a dog that won't grow more than 4lbs and the dog ends up 6-7lbs there is a high chance that dog might end up in a shelter. Not all people return the dogs back to the breeders even if it say's in the contract.
I did not call her a backyard breeder or puppymill breeder. But the more I think about it she feels like a backyard breeder to me. Again, that is just my opinion. I do believe she loves her dogs and that she does have a passion for them. But her advertising from what I can see has false information.
Imaging someone taking one of her fluffs to the ring and stating they have a t-cup thinking there just saying a have an American version. Because there thinking there using correct words used in this type of hobby. They wouldn't even get pass the paperwork.
I will never buy a fluff from any type of breeder again. I don't care if there, BYB, puppymill or reputable.
And don't worry, this is a forum for everyone to speak there minds. No one will take offense on what you think. I use to be clueless on anything that had to deal with dogs. The only way to learn is to ask and be inform. Maybe I am wrong but I atleast have done some research. There is no taking sides here. Some people will agree with me and some wont. There will be no need for a forum if everyone agreed with each other. |
