| First off I was not attacking you. That is silly to say. If you want to go to people's houses that is fine! My opinion I would not let a breeder come to my house. |

It's the first question out of my mouth when a potential new family contacts. If their answer is no, conversation is ended You don't like people coming to your house, however, most potential new buyers come to my house. It's a two way street and for the good of the puppy...Then I do have a relationship with all my families, I go to their homes and them come to mine.....on a social basis.

| Hmmm..where did you hear this? It is a fact that pounds etc don't do home visits and they know that 50% of the dogs will come back but they do not have the staff to do home checks etc and they believe at least 50% of the dogs found a home.

I have met Karen two times - the first time when my mom bought a dog from her and the second time when I bought a dog from her. I would agree that she does try to make sure the dog fits with the family. I have two kids and the first thing Karen did was suggest that I get one of her bigger pups. I will also mention that when my mom was trying to determine what size of dog she wanted (4lb or 6lb) we asked Karen to bring a few of her adult dogs of various sizes for us to look at. She did - and they seemed very well cared for. We stayed for almost 2 hours. The dogs did very well around people and loved being held by Karen. I would definitely recommend Karen. | |

| Good point. I can only speak for myself, but I don't think I could recommend and sing praises of a breeder if I'd never been to their house. If I'm going to recommend a breeder, then I would first want to at the very least, see the conditions that the dogs are kept in and the condition that ALL dogs are in at ALL times...not just the select few that I was shown. |
