I for one, think she is doing a great job of breeding to the standard, her dogs are beautiful. Her comments addressing the fact that the AKC shows do not provide written evaluation are correct and I think most breeders would agree that it would be VERY helpful to know what particular faults the judge was swayed by one way or another, so they would have precise tools to work on improvements. I am not saying that her site does not reek of status, but the point is that she is not saying that HER lifestyle is only for the rich and famous, but that everyone is entitled to feel like a celebrity...sure, there is no way I could afford to buy myself a Jag for my birthday (though if I could, would I, YOU BET!)...but everybody likes to feel pampered on occasion. Our family has a saying of my grandfather's that we pull out during moments of bliss, where we are together and relaxing and enjoying a perfect day...."Wonder what the poor people are doing today?" It always gets a chuckle, since we are far removed from the Beverly Hills crowd, closer to the Hill Billys, I'm sure.

Omg...my Dad used to say that phrase! Its a great line...certainly makes you grateful.

There are people who think just dressing your dogs for fun and puttin them on satin cushions and carrying them in designer bags is ridiculous. Her background and upbringing is pretty far removed from the average middle class American so it's not really fair to be so harsh in judgement.

Good point! I saw her website based on first impression and her poses with the car and they just seemed...unneccesary. Her dogs look beautiful

and I am sure she takes excellent care of them. Who knows... maybe I just want to be one of her pups

so I can cruise in a fleet of vehicles, have someone buy me designer collars and leashes, prepare my gormet food, give me Evian water, have a personal fan person on a hot day... WAIT! Sylvan do have Paris Hilton's personal #? lol

WOOF WOOF WOOF!

Ok...so I won't be judgemental because she seems like someone who really cares about her yorkies and the breed in general, so she gets a

for that. But I'm sorry her website looks like a cross between yorkies and adult movies..haha...sorry I had to be honest..But I'm sure she is very nice. She just seems alittle over the top. I've always been taught to be humble and modest.

I read the story of Nightengale...how tragic...how can one dog live with that much tragedy. First stolen by thieves, abused and returned. Then she looses her adopted son that is a cat because he is hit by a car the first time he leaves the yard. Next poor nightengale falls from a two story balcony breaking her back and becoming lame. And to top it off she becomes pregnate at 7 years old. Is this story true???

Beautiful Yorkies - too many human pictures of herself....I don't have alot of respect for people who use their money and status to make themselves seem better than other people.

What's up with all the shots of her and CARS?

Spy-Girls would LOVE to challenge her to a race

Your spy girls would really put up a challenge for this gal.

Doesn't a female have to stand to get pregnant? how could a lame dog (who can't use their back legs) get pregnant? Just curious, you may have to draw me pictures, because I can not see how this is possible... or maybe I read the story wrong and the dog can use its back legs and it isn't lame?

I don't think this was an accidental breeding... if you don't want your lame dog (or any dog) to get pregnant- wouldn't you get it fixed, considering their risks for cancer are higher if they are not fixed... and I am sure she could afford the vet bill for spaying. She also stated she knew this dog wanted to be a mama... I think she either AI'd her or the dog really isn't lame and can use its back legs. (to stand for a boy)

wow - I didn't read the story but good one Francie - that almost sounds too dramatic and why let a poor lame yorkie ever get pregnant ? I'm most certainly NOT saying it's not true - but how does one KNOW a yorkie wants to be a mom at 7 years old ?

Thank you

I think that is my last Ima Hussy pic ...hehe - Now I can tell my friend who did that pic that it was perfect for a joke !

I didn't read the Nightengale story but from the pages that I did read, I got the distinct impression that she is very Italian - whether she was born there or what, I don't know but some of the grammatical idiosyncracies in her writing lead me to believe English is her secondary language - c'mon y'all, we know how flamboyant those Italians can be... As long as her pups are happy and healthy we should congratulate her - I only wish my self-esteem was that good - of course, money doesn't hurt!
