Reputable YT Breeders

[Yorkiemom1]

I was just notified that MY kennel is listed on this "Vadzilla" site.....I have never heard of this site and I certainly have not PAID to be on the site.....I have NO idea where or how they got my name....let me check with my mentor and see if she listed me on this site....somehow, I doubt it....and I will have to get back to you on this.....All I know is I certainly have nver even HEARD of this site, let alone paid to be listed on it! I have to check the site out....see what this is all about....

She is doing better potty training. We've been spending a lot of time outside since the weather turned cooler and we think Sophie prefers to potty outside than on her pad in the bathroom. At least that's what we are hoping. We expect to always have a pad down for her in the future and so, I just finished her first homemade cloth potty pad. We'll give it a go tomorrow.

Other than that, she continues to be full of energy, until she drops into a deep sleep for naps or at night. She is sleeping through the night unless the neighbors come home at 11:30 or 12 AM and their loud laughing and talking wake her up, then of course she has to give a resounding bark to warn them to stay away. LOL But outside of that, she's a great traveler, eating well, a full 5 lbs. now and going in for a major hair cut tomorrow morning! I'll be sure to post picts of before and after later tomorrow.

Thanks so much for asking! Sometimes I forget to post about what's happening in and out of our house. Just too busy playing and when she naps, cleaning and doing laundry. It's never ending. LOL

Aww! Be sure to post her new haircut pics!

Sorry this genesmasher person took over your thread, hon. Take care & tty soon.

One of the breeders on your site is a good friend of mine, I also know she is a keyboard warrior with no experience and may not even know she signed up for your sit. I also know that she has a waiting list for her pups most time and if she has PURPOSELY chosen to list with you, well then there is nothing I can do about that.

This is ME!!! Thank you lynzy!!!!!!!!! I have NO knowledge of this site, Vadzilla, and I certainly NEVER signed up for this....I have comtacted my mwnroe, who also does my advertising.....lynzy is absolutely correct about my computer skills, which are horrific at best! I have no puppies for sell, my puppies are sold from a waiting list, with my screened applicants waiting for as long as 2-3 years in order to own one of my babies. I do not even know what this Vadzilla site is about....but I personally do not think a breeder can be kicked to the curb for advertising, especially when you are first getting into breeding. You can pay for advertising, you have to get your name out in the public, and then when you get inquiries, you conduct yourself responsibly and ethically....you screen your applicants! Again, thanks lynzy for the heads up....I have NO idea how my kennel got on thisw site....my advertising expenses have diminished substantially since I have become known and my reputation has become known. I have to check the site out....if I dont like it, I will certainly have them loose my name, as I have not paid for any space on that site!!!

No different than puppyfind or the local classifieds. Puppyfind allows breeder reviews, too. Nothing new to see here, folks.

My name appeared on this site!! I did NOT pay for any ad to be used on this site...from what I read on the site, it seems it is free to register your name.....I STILL did not register with this site so I have to find out how my name got listed on Vadzilla....Most of the people that purchase babies from these type of advertising, are NOT people that are looking to pay for a quality puppy....At first blush, looking at the site, I wonder if there are any checks on reviews that may be posted on any breeder....I have a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomact, this is a great way for one "breeder" to bash another breeder, with no verifications made by the site that the review is even TRUE!! Reputable breeders can get drug thru the mud by someone that may get pissed off about something they read on YT, so they use this avenue to seek revenge! That the site does not do a review and screen the breeders listed on their site, does not concern me....breeders stand on their OWN integrity and ethics....but I am much concerned that any review attached to any breeder listed on this site, had BETTER dang well be accurate and true, or they will find themselves in some legal hot water.....

Just want to say that whoever it is who is doing tags, you don't know how they work. A tag is a word to help search for something. The terms I am seeing are not going to be searched for.....
Don't know if I am explaining this well. ???

Thanks LJ.

For those who've tagged this thread (& some others I've seen lately) please go see tbe sticky Searching for Information on Yorkietalk in the Comments & Suggestions forum. If a tag isn't words that someone would use to find information, the tag is basically useless. HOWEVER, good tagging habits very well could benefit another user. Some of us have been working to get better Tags on threads for this purpose.

Here's the link to that thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sit...orkietalk.html
