Now that is a bit much for my stomach. Heck! I'd rather whelp a litter of puppies and I do hate whelping.

I agree with what others have posted...new member, posting in an old thread to praise a breeder with questionable practices...seems very suspicious. (But it is a pretty frequent thing.)

I'm sure the OP made up their mind long ago, but in any event, I too would recommend to look elsewhere. Too many red flags from looking at the site--the information THEY provide that is open for all to see without having to even visit the facility.

* cross breeding
* 9 different breeds
* large number of pups available
* selling and advertising pups as 'breeders'
* can only assume they are registered with the USDA as a commercial breeder since the county in doing kennel inspections (sorry, I really don't have the energy to look it up and see)
* breeding females that are too small to be bred--4 lbs
* advertising dogs as "teacups" and "micro teacups"
* claiming that a 9 wk old dog that weighs 3.5 lbs NOW is going to be 3.5 lbs as an adult

All that in a 5 minutes glance. Enough said.

My daughter in Indiana found this breeder on the internet, and another daughter drove me there as a "surprise". I did purchase a puppy there, and I love this puppy with all of my heart, but I feel more like I rescued her!! I later learned that this facility advertises "designer dogs" and has so many breeds, I question whether my "papers" are worth the paper that they are printed on!! No regrets, like I said, but if you cannot go there in person, I would think twice.

Before anyone says anything, I am not a family member, employee, or anything else....I did though buy a puppy from Puppiesforlove and they are wonderful! They have many different breeds, yes....but they are very small dogs and they live well out of the city, so they have plenty of space for them. They operate a family business, they provide excellent health references, and the puppies are very well taken care of and loved. They are socialized, played with and loved, and kept in excellent health and shape. We bought a Chinese Imperial s**tzu, and he was ready to greet us within minutes of picking him up at the airport (he greeted us with a wagging tail, had made no mess in the crate, and the airline personnel even went out of their way to tell me just how sweet and good he had been on the flight and in the holding room). He is absolutely beautiful, happy, lovable, and just perfect!! Anita (Puppiesforlove) took endless time answering my many emails and questions, speaking on the phone, and helping me in every way that she could. Our puppy is perfect and we love him!

So you bought a "Chinese Imperial Shih Tzu"? That's telling of exactly what type of breeder this is, as there is no such thing as a Chinese Imperial Shih Tzu, it's a marketing term like "teacup" breeders use to exploit the breed.

"Imperial" Shih Tzu | American Shih Tzu Club
The words "imperial" and "tiny teacup" are sometimes used interchangeably to describe undersized Shih Tzu. In fact, the terms "imperial" or "tiny teacup" should be regarded as what they really are.... A MYTH often used by unethical breeders to create a market for dogs that do not conform to the breed standard.

You may have had a wonderful experience with this breeder, but that doesn't make this breeder ethical. Ethical/responsible breeders do not need to use marketing terms in order to sell pups.
