I don't own any of her dogs. However, I do know since I live near her that she owns some Maltese and Yorkies of her own and breeds a few litters a year. She does take her own pups with her to socialize in the mall and on errands in a purse. I am not endorsing her nor would I buy a dog from her although I didn't do better by buying a Yorkie that's vicious from a show breeder. I think that some dogs listed on her site are way overpriced. I have recognized a Yorkie breeder's dog and a Biewer's breeder's puppy listed last year for sale on her website and was shocked by it. CR Puppy's site is the same kind of operation. She has a Biewer listed from a so called reputable breeder in Ca. for $1200 more then the breeder has it listed.
