Never heard of them.

Puppies For Love
 

I have heard of Pupppies For Love. They are excellent breeders and do not sell to brokers or Pet Shops. You would get a great puppy if you get one from them. They are not a puppy mill and breed all of their puppies themselves. I have been there to their location. All of their dogs are very well taken care of, very clean and well socialized.

This thread is very old.

But, looking on the website.....multiple breeds and cross breeds....being bred.....not a good sign. Several red flags.

As I have said I have been there and purchased a puppy from them and I couldn't be happier with my puppy. Just because they have several breeds and cross breeds does not make them bad breeders. A breeder can raise only one breed but have several hundred of the one breed. They can also not be taken good care of and you will not question it based on your theory that one breed per breeder is a good breeder. I think you should not judge a book by its cover but by the content of the book. Puppies For Love is a small family owned and operated breeder. The whole family helps raise the puppies and take care of the dogs. I meet most of the family members. This is a good breeder.

Sue, are you part of the family? 2 posts, both saying how great they are. They may be terrific, but flags are raised as they have many different breeds, and said that they can pretty much get anything, including large breeds. Personally, I would only buy from a breeder that only breeds one specific breed, and as viewed as an expert and strives to better the breed. JMHO. But on the upside, they do not raise them for a restaurant.

Yes they are bad breeders, "just because they have several breeds and cross breed".....they are commercial breeders, only interested in exploiting dogs.

No, you're not right either about others assuming bc a breeder raises even one breed of dog that they are a good breeder - there is much more that goes into the good breeder equation than number of dogs or breeds.

Also, we're judging by what the breeder has put out on a public website and it is the content of the site that is disturbing to anyone who cares about dogs/puppies and the current problem of exploitative breeders.

Reputable breeders are striving to improve the breed, according to the standard. They will never cross breeds.
Family owned and operated is great, but unless they're breedig ultimately for the betterment, which you cannot do by crossing breeds... nothing more than a back-yard-breeder (BYB).

I totally disagree and I think there is nothing wrong with their website. You can't judge you haven't been there I have. So quit popping off about things you have no idea about. This is ridiculous reasoning!

How do you think the breeds we see today were created??? By cross breeding!!!! Everything originates from several combinations of breeds. This too is ridiculous!! Get to know your facts!

Ok Sue, you are the expert here, all of the reputable breeders are wrong. Great 3 new posts. Thanks for sharing.

I would stay far far away from Puppiesforlove. Run, do not walk. Caveat Emptor

No I am not a member of the family and you are very funny!!!

Thank you, thank you very much!

Then you are missing out! Yes I do not know the breeders that have posted here but I do know Puppies For Love breeders. I would choose them over you any day!

Thanl's Sue. I would never buy a pup from me, especially since I am not a breeder.

San Antonio to dallas is a nice drive to visit a puppy mill. Nothing closer?

You know of any good Hog Hunting locations in SE TX? Now I hunt in Corsicana, but am open to new locations. Why there are more Hogs than Dogs in TX.

Way too many breeds and cross breeds, I wouldn't even consider them!!
:thumbdown:thumbdown

I just counted...they currently have 41 puppies currently for sale :eek: :eek:
I can only imagine how well they they're taken care of and how much socialization each one receives. :rolleyes:

Not much point in anyone wasting their time with this one. The web site is pathetic and I can't imagine anyone that knows or cares anything about finding a reputable breeder giving it a second look. APRI champion....really now? :yelrotflm

Hey! I have friends that live in Corsicana....

I wasn't going to post but Sue, no one is attacking them. Their webiste is what represents their business, and us YTers through good and bad experiences have pulled together to let each other know what would be a red flag and reasons to stay away from a breeder. 41 puppies is A LOT. If they are raised in home, as a puppy should be, that is way to many mouths for one family to feed and way to many bodies to cuddle and socialize properly. Given that maybe they have extra help in the socializing and feeding aspect of their "work" but another red flag that concerns me greatly is that they advertise a 6 year old dog saying because they are "done" with shihtzus. (sp?) I think I have read somewhere that a 6 year old dog is close to retirement, if not there already and to advertise one like that is like saying "use her to make as many puppies as you want." They also use marketing terms "tea cup" and "micro tea cup" that we as a group over time have discovered to be nothing more than a sham. They are words used to sell puppies for more green and attract the wrong kind of people. Those words attract the king of people that are looking for a small stuffed animal more than a living breathing creature that will come to be your life long companion.
I am not against mixing, I agree that is how many of the great breeds we have today came to be. However, there has to be a purpose to these kinds of breeding other than creating "micro teacups" that can be sold for lots and lots of money.

Too many educated yorkie people on YT too be taken in by such a wesite/breeder.

People that conduct a Puppy Mill, yes Puppy Mill since they make a living of the backs of their dogs.

Your defending this particular place did accomplish something good. It brought this thread to the top again. A newbie that maybe looking for a new puppy will be warned in advance.

Just FYI.....the magic age for retirement for a female is 5......sometime younger, depending on the situation.

Thanks Mardelin, I knew I read that somewhere. I was actually searching threads for the retirement age, but you made my work much easier! Knowing that information comes from an experienced breeder, I know that's good information to share. It makes me sad for that little girl to be sold like that.

Now 5 is the average age. I do know of some very reputable breeders that may have a very healthy female that is capable of breeding until 6. But, that doesn't happen too often and usually not done without full compliance of a repro vet. The longer you breed them the more chance of complications. Anyway spaying at 5 allows these girls the rest of their lives to be little princessess.

Do they have any hogs tearing up their property? When I hunt down there with my Cousin, they are all over. You could walk on their backs and go for miles, without touching the ground. Here is a recent one.

Darn, and here I retired my wife at 28. Sorry, it just slipped out!

No, they have yorkies......

They put me out to pasture at 23.

Mard, you have a great sense of humor! Have a great day.
