You're right, I don't know her personally to doubt her honesty but from her website there's no way I would refer her - not even to a stranger.

Did you know she's selling and shipping puppies that only weigh a little over a pound? Have your read her guarantee?

And you would still refer her?

No, the OP didn't ask for a show dog but there's no reason not to own a Yorkie that looks like one.

JMO but when you're selling quantity there's little room for quality.

Nicely put Connie.

Referring someone out is a big responsibility.....

I stated on another thread, just because one person has a good experience with obtaining their pup, shouldn't be a good enough reason to refer them to someone else. Much to much responsibility to take upon yourself should something go wrong.

You can be a very honest person, but that doesn't make you a responsible breeder.

The only complaint i have read against her was from someone ill because he didn't get one of her pups (he should have made a deposit on it) i would not expect someone to hold for me without a deposit nor would i hold without one.

Betty, I see you have a litter of puppies - which are adorable - so I would think you'd understand the first statement I made. Would you ship them when they're less than 1.7 or 1.2 pounds? I hope not.

As far as the only complaint against her - which I didn't even look up (didn't need to) isn't really indicative of the problems going on there. Some people just don't know better, so they may seem ok with it, but I think we do and should steer new puppy owners in the right direction.

I'm not trying to attack her personally, but I couldn't suggest her as a breeder after reading the information on her website. The weights of the puppies were stated in letters from her own customers. Her guarantee is right there to read.
