I am 100 percent against brokers/puppymills and petstores but in all honesty cannot say anything bad about Susan accept that she gets her pups from Brazil and although they are healthy and well cared for I do not know for sure how the parents in Brazil are being cared for. Although, that may not bother some people it bothers me. I can't with good conscience buy knowing that my pup may have come from parents being overbred and uncared for at a puppymill. I recently went through this struggle when I found a beautiful little boy Susan had, but in the end I could not go through with it, not because there was anything wrong with the pup or any of her pups but simply because I could not be 100 percent sure that these pups were not the product of a puppymill parents. That's just my feeling on this The thing is that the woman I got Tia from also bought two dogs from Susan prior to Tia and got rid of them then was sold Tia and after she listed Tia, she went back to Susan for yet another dog and the fact that not one but four dogs in total were sold to this woman even though Susan knew the history with this woman bothered me too, but I guess that's what makes it a business. Just my .02. Susan however, does run a clean establishment and the pups seemed to be taken care of, but atleast for me, I need to know that the parents are not living in a hell hole producing litter after litter.

This is my reasoning too. This person may take excellent care of the dogs in her care but it MATTERS to me how mom and dad live too
