In either case, I still can't find out anything positive on this breeder (everything negative about her is just based on what she says or her website). Her behaviour is quite odd. She hasn't responded to any of my e-mails (2) either (just an inquiry of what she had available).
$1,200 is an interesting price for someone of her calibre. Do you mind me asking who the mother and father are of your puppy? I'm curious just to see so I can find more info. about where she's getting her dogs and what health problems lye in the lineage, if any. Thanks in advance. |
Big girl? According to the vet and the toy breed chart she is going to be 5-6 lbs (standard). I guess you would hate to hear how big our little boy is! He is now 3.9 at 13 weeks. We wanted the biggest in the litter. IMO the little guys under 4 lbs almost barely stand a chance in this world. This breed used to be over 10 lbs. I see nothing wrong with her size.
I guess I don't like your choice of words.... someone of her "calibre"? She states on the front page of her website that she only breeds for the love of the animal...and she only breeds PETS. She does not sell them to be show dogs...and never states otherwise. I searched around quite a bit and thought any dog over 1500.00 was extremely unreasonable for a family pet. I didn't spend that much to have both of my children in a hospital.
I am just telling you what I saw with my own eyes. I met a family that love animals. Simple as that. It was clean and well taken care of. All the animals were in top form. Every body was groomed and bathed. She is a loving person that breed to very social and lovable puppies. I think we are looking for completely different things. Perhaps she is not the right breeder for your friend...but she was for me. The dogs are amazing in every aspect in OUR eyes. I know she is not a puppy mill and in my opinion she is not a "backyard breeder". I know her heart is where it should be.
And yes we enjoy them both very much. Good luck researching. I hope you find what you are looking for.
