I didn't realize that TopNotch was a broker. I've always heard good things about her. I myself have nothing against someone "doing the homework for you" and going across country and picking up the best pups. If she makes a little money, she makes money. As we all know, if breeders were "just" breeding to better the breed, they would only ask for the money used to raise the pup to 12 weeks (expenses, food, etc.) and not make a stitch of money. But, we know that's not going to happen...and nobody should expect it to. People should be compensated for their time. But, how much should it be $100, $500, $1000? Who knows. Everyone values their time differently.

Now, I don't want to get into a pissing match with anyone either, and don't expect any rude comments towards me, b/c I wasn't rude to anyone. I've stated my opinion, and that's it. And no, of course, I don't support puppymills. But we are bashing this TopNotch woman and we don't even know her. If some want to come to the conclusion that all brokers are bad, then that's your prerogative...but I don't like to stereotype or discriminate. Sorry JMHO.
