| Yes I read the article a couple weeks ago but didn't mention because I feel it's incredibly ignorant of these people to do that. I also caught on of the pet store mention. I have all these things in the back of my head. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Makes me sick thinking how many dogs were produced to put a kid through college! She makes her living off the backs of innocent animals and seems so proud of the fact

Exactly! It looks like she breeds three different breeds, no clue as to how many in total!

It concerns me this is how she makes her living, that she breeds three different breeds. She only has the males on her site, how many females does she have?? Why doesn't she have pics of them? She mentions on her site she thinks the "easiest" way to find a "good breeder" is by what they feed their dogs. I'm sorry, but I disagree! We rescued Camden from a "horrible" breeder IMO, who supposedly fed her dogs very good food, so that really doesn't mean much to me! I would be looking elsewhere, IMO. NOT someone who supports themselves by breeding!

| Her website states she's breeding a 4 pound female and a 3 pound male. I bought Bandit my first dog off a "breeder" I found off-line before I knew better. It turned out it was a back yard breeder, and we've had a lot of health problems. I'm not saying this person is, but there are a lot of better breeders you could get your puppy from. I got Nala from a breeder in Albany (I live in MD) and we met at my parents house in Westchester NY so neither of us would have to drive too far. Nala has had no health or social problems like Bandit has, and while I'm sure part of that is due to us being better puppy-parents, I know part of it has to do with where we got her from. I'm sure some people on here could direct you to better breeders. |

| Scratching my head and wondering where I have gone wrong? I have not made any money from my dogs. I do lots of health screening, pay my veterinarian enough to put HER kids through college, my dogs eat Nutro Natural Choice dog food 4 star food on the list of 1-5 stars and I get Tuna and peanut butter, the dogs have air conditioned rooms and I dont even have an airconditioner in my bedroom. Not to mention the toys, treats, etc. Maybe I should give this lady a call and see where to cut corners so that I could get my little ones to support me...lol..hey JK .... |

| FYI we decided to go with a breeder closer to home. Thanks for the input. In the end it was really the distance that we couldn't risk if it didn't work out. Thanks again! |

| So it wasn't the "information" you were given that detoured you from buying from this lady - it was the "distance"? OMG! That's sad.

| LOL right. One thing I am not is sad. I greatly appreciated the info from others. I wasn't looking to extend this thread any further. I have done lots of research for weeks, spoken to several breeders and met with many in New England. Hearing from others with their thoughts was why I came here and was very helpful. I also have my own thoughts and opinions after speaking with someone. I fell in love with a baby we met last weekend and was waiting to make a connection. She is 12 weeks old and needs a home I've started a new thread introducing myself if you are interested. Thanks again all others Last edited by blondyinnh; 03-10-2010 at 05:47 PM. |
