On your website you mention "show quality" several times. Could you please explain what you mean by this?

Do you show your dogs at AKC Shows?

Have you Championed them?

Are these the ones that you have bred?

And while I am a God fearing woman, I do NOT appreciate people coming on here using His name as though they couldn't possibly do any wrong because they know a few quotes. Please refrain from using Him to defuse this situation.

agree, please do not use his name to help justify your actions

I'm sure that breeder will not be happy to find that out!!

In the mean time I'll take you up on some past customers references. Either post them here or notify me by e-mail.
Oh, did I mention, I'm an attorney?

Have a good day

Cool! An attorney...we may need one for this thread!

Personally, if I were looking for a puppy I would not consider this breeder for the following reasons:

-advertises as teacups, micro mini, etc..

- breeds mixes in addition to Yorkies & Biewers (shorkies, chorkies, Morkies, shiihpoo, yorkiepoos, porkies)
Where are the pics of the parents, how many are there???

- mentions that puppies can leave at 8 weeks!

"We consistantly try to improve the standard of the already wonderful breed the Yorkshire Terrier." This is a quote on the website of this breeder. I guess I have a different idea of what I would consider improving the standard of the breed!

Mel,

It looks like you have run afoul of the elitist Yorkie clique, who think they are superior to anyone breeding mixes - somehow confusing maintaining breeding standards with righteous behavior. There will always be a market for both high-end purebred with controlled lines and cheaper mixes for people who want a pet. Some of the best tempered breeds are mixes. As a parent looking for a loving pet for the kids, I would go to you and not the betterment of the breed folks. They are welcome to stay in their chickeny flock around their RV's at the dog show and cluck cluck about the rest of us. Hang in there sis.

My advice is instead of supporting breeders that breed mixed breeds for profit as that is what they are doing when breeding for mutts instead go to a rescue or shelter and adopt a homeless baby instead....

Agreed. I find it rather perplexing when a new person comes on with one post defending someone with questionable breeding practices.

Being you are the sister of this "breeder", I really do hope you read the article Mary posted. Maybe you and your sister will see why we are so passionate about what we stand for.

Oh, but wait, they can't do that because "Some Breeders" will go to the rescues and get the little ones, that good honest private home adoptions could be done on, and they will sell them for a profit. $100-$2000

They do do that, then turn around and sell them for a profit!

While a small percentage of posters on this thread is comprised of breeders, the majority of posters are pet people. However, all have couple of very strong things in common, stamping out bad breeders and a great love for the canine. It has nothing to do with elitist as you refer to "Exhibitor/Breeders", which I find strange as Melissa stated that her mother showed dogs.

And the person chooses the screen name "Absolution"
