Shrink your page down to between 75 and 100% percent. that should work.

Sorry you are disappointed.

I will say this you absolutely did remove ads, posts, and remove terminology from your facebook.

Also, slander? I've never said a word about you. The only way you can sue for slander is if your reporting the income from every single one of the pups you have sold to the IRS? Are you? Also A "slanderous" statement must be false, otherwise it's not considered damaging. Even terribly mean and disparaging things are not defamatory if the shoe fits. Most Opinions don't count as slander because they can't be proven to be objectively false. Example, when a someone says, "That is the worst breeder I've ever seen" she's not defaming the breeder, because the statement can't be proven to be false, Its their opinion.[/QUOT

You show me where and when I have sold a Yorkie before it wasn't old enough or any TEACUP Yorkie? Never happened. I even say on my web page "we do not breed Teacup Yorkies. The smallest Yorkie I have ever whelped is now a 5 lbs. adult. Almost all my Yorkie are 4.0 oz.
I have edited my face book page when a mistake was found. Also changed the weight on my web page because I wrote down a weight as 4 1/4 instead of 4. 14 oz. is this what you are referring too? I'm human, mistakes are bound to be made. That does not mead I'm a bad breeder.
I haven't sold enough puppies to report anything to the IRS..I have over $4500. into my breeding program and have a couple thousand that I put into supplies and vet bills. How bout you??
fYI, If it stresses you out so much to deal with us new people then do your self a favor and don't respond.

Laurie...$4500??? I have over, well over $30,000, infact; I'm too embarrassed to admit how much money INTO MY puppymill dog and byb deceased dog in less than 8 years...because of people like you who think breeding is that easy to do, because of people who do it for money, or do it without testing and learning etc... ...when you know all your lines, have tested each of your pups and can print the results here, then you can talk to me about $$$$$$$ There are breeders on here who are $1000's in the hole THAT ARE BREEDING TO BETTER THE BREED, TO KEEP the STANDARD going...$$$$$4500????????????????? I buried a my 1 year old dog a few months ago that without question, was poorly bred by people like you...deaf, heart problems etc., etc., $$$$$$4500?????????? I spent $11,000 on that dog alone but you know what????? I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE MONEY, LIKE YOU DID....

OK, I will just put what works well for me, when I was breeding..haven't in a few years.

I posted ads early on with the option of deposits
I responded to every inquiry quickly, professionally, and respectfully
I notified all my contacts of the new arrival..contacts to people who have shown interest in the past, present and future
WORD OF MOUTH..most of my litters had homes from previous buyers, and repeat buyers SHOW you care about the puppies, their health, their new homes, and their future with the new homes.
Vet care, have all the paperwork, have contracts, PAPER TRAIL, registrations
good descriptions on ads, update ads frequently
have people come to your home to see the puppies in their environment. Any breeder that wont let you come to them has something to hid.
being honest and upfront about everything
spend the time getting to know potential new homes
I know I hit on more of the marketing end of things..but im short for time

good luck, I thought your puppies and adults on the website were adorable and the site was easy to navigate

Wow $4500 is only the cost of one breeding male for me. Not to mention the over $5000 dollars I spent on a show female imported from Russia, who sadly died from cancer. And let us not count the cost of her health care.
