| Red Flag Overload I found this site last night while surfing around. How many red flags would you give it? Be sure to read the vet's statement. Purebred and designer puppies for sale directly from a professional breeder. |

| That is horrible. They are selling those puppies like they were clothing or something! On sale: Discounted....that is just sickening! I don't think I have ever saw that many breeds of dogs being bred at once before .

| I wonder why "Vet Charlie" is not giving his full name, office name and contact number; so that someone can verify? Maybe because "Vet Charlie" does not exist??? No one can breed that many different pups and be giving that amount of dogs proper love and attention.

| Sounds like "MaryAnn" has a giant kennel that she not only breeds dogs at, but brokers dogs from other breeders. The whole site is a red flag!! Too bad, that many people have no idea about what those kinds of places are really like. I notice that she is only open "online". I didn't read the whole site, but from what I could tell, you can only contact her through email and telephone....no kennel visits? Probably because the conditions are appalling!!

| The whole site would be laughable if it weren't for the sad reality behind it. Did you notice the prices? They're very cheap so you know that they're just churning out dogs as cheaply as possible. My guess is that this place would qualify as one of the worst of the worst. Places like this should be investigated. |

| 20 Red Flags!!! will people like this see that there isn't such a market for these pups - if you have to discount - maybe it's time to get out of business. I am sorry there is no such then as a designer dog - this is a mix - and you are destroying the breeds and MORE IMPORTANT, overpopulating this country with more dogs

That is nothing but a puppy broker - wow ...Red flags all over is right...I didn't even make it to the vets statement after seeing all the different breeds - there is no possible way that's a BREEDER man - to think people actually buy into all that BS....it's really sad the net is full of sites like that. | |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | LOL saw the vet statement - seems that 'CHARLES the vet' didn't even put his last name on his raving endorsements - wonder why ?? What a load of manure ..... |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Wow. Did you see on the discounted puppies she states they are from 9-12 weeks old and some people like older puppies. How old are the ones that aren't dscounted if she thinks 9-12 weeks are older.

| Did you notice that they start their vaccinations at 3 weeks of age???? Think I'll try to contact the local humane society and animal control people there. It's a no-brainer that this is nothing but a puppy mill outlet, and a horrible one at that. Maybe some of you would like to do the same. A bunch of calls and someone might pay attention. How about it? |

| I sent them a email asking some questions: I found your site while looking for puppies for my parents. I'm wondering at what age do you let your puppies be shipped? I'm located in Wisconsin, but may be able to drive to check out your puppies. What are your visiting hours? Where are the puppies kept? Do you supply AKC papers with the purebred pups? What is your health guarantee? I am really looking for a female pup and my parents love the cocker spaniel. Do you have any of those? Any additional info you can supply would be great. I may be able to have one of my relatives come visit as they live in Coon Rapids, MN. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know what they say..... |

| I see lots of red flags but one that really stands out to me is that they can't even spell the breed: Yorkshire Terrior! |

| Crazy I couldn't agree with you more. I actually just called the Morrison County Sherriff's Office (320-632-9233 if anyone else wants to) and reported the possible puppy mill. I spoke with an operator and a Deputy called me back a few minutes later. They are going to look into it. Those dogs don't deserve that sort of start in the world and with those prices and the lack of a screening process, God only knows what their lives will be like. Good find on this nonsesne. It makes me sick to think about it. This is sad and I encourage everyone to call and get them to actually act on it.
