ali22, I'm sorry you find my posts negative because they are meant to educate people on the world of puppy mills/pet shop/brokers. You are right I've never seen the parents nor the living conditions of any of her puppies but I know for a fact that no reputable good breeder sells their puppies to a broker ever. This particular broker comes up in threads like this one when someone is looking for a puppy and I feel it necessary to let people know that you can find your puppy without buying from a broker. Brokers keep mills in business, they breed frequently and push the puppies out too quickly to make room for that next litter. People need to know that buying from a broker is like buying from a pet store and most of us wouldn't recommend that. If you truly are interested in getting a new puppy you should contact the YTCA and find your local club president. This person has a list of reputable breeders and that would give you a good start.

As for the nastiness of this thread, I've never resorted to name calling or insults in my posts and I find it extremely offensive that you would imply that I'm somehow racist because I don't support brokers! You need to read these posts again and then apologize to me.
