drboolittle, I'm surprised at your reaction. I find it curious that you are a new member of a yorkie based website and your very first posts are recommending this particular broker and then defending her as if you have seen the living conditions of these dogs' parents yourself. You only have her word that they were not purchased at a mill and she's making a fortune off of people who are in the market for a pet and they don't know any better. I thought a veternarian would know this. Maybe its just me, but I see a pattern here. |
In my search, I just saw you posted on like every thread that has to do with Top Notch. I was just really interested in hearing if someone has had a bad expience with her.
But I don't understand how you can make assumptions about how she buys from puppy mills. That's not fact. A possibility, but not fact. There could be amazing breeders and kennels in Brazil for all we know. You've never been to her Brazilian breeders either.
I have read, and heard in person, some amazing things about her and not ONCE did I hear about someone who has bought from her and has not been 100% satisfied. I think if she was buying from puppy mills, she would be selling sick pups. And if she was selling unhealthy pups, I'm sure it would be on here somewhere. There is NO WAY that this woman could be selling sick dogs without a bad reputation. ESPECIALLY because brokers have such a bad name, SOMEONE would be posting it all over the internet. Someone would be taking about it. I mean look at yorkiepup.com.
If there is one thing I think we can agree on, it's that puppy mill puppies are truely affected by life in a puppy mill. I truely think these dogs are tramatized. Now I can see maybe a few slipping through Top Notch Yorkies without any behavioral or health issues, but the majority of them??? People rave about their puppies/ dogs that they got from Top Notch. How can there be so many well tempered healthy dogs from her if they've all come from puppy mills? Also, under the NJ Lemon Law, isn't she legally liable for health problems? Why would she risk selling unhealthy puppy mill pups with looming vet bills?
It is VERY possible that not all brokers are bad. I personally believe that all men cheat, but I would never inflict that theory on anyone and I love to be proven wrong!
I think steriotypes, predujices, and pre-judgement are some of the worst traits of humanity. EVERYBODY is different.
BTW, I'm still on the hunt for my pup, I'm not done doing my homework! I came on Yorkie Talk to get some great recomendations (which I have) and to hear peoples personal experiences with different breeders. Not biased prefferences.
Kaymo, I'm sorry if this post is coming across snotty (can't use the better word lol). I hope this doesn't turn the thead sour. But why the conspiracy theory with Top Notch's vet??
AND I
LOVE THAT THERE'S A VET ON YORKIE TALK!!!!! I was hoping to meet a Vet on here that I can badger with Yorkie questions!! Lol JK
