Its funny, if you read her 'rant' about how people do not know what a true maltese looks like and how upset that makes her, then know that she cross breeds designer dogs and wonders what happened to the Maltese breeds looks???? Geeeezzzzz DUH!!!

She says in one paragraph that they can be as large as 12 lbs or a small as 4 lbs

Oh ok. The LAST thing I ever want to do is start anything on the forum, i'm not a trouble maker. That person on the website (assuming it was a woman) made me so mad b/c it's clear she is only in it for the money and not the health of the dogs. In the same breath she is putting down OUR breed!!!

[Bruce's_Mom]

Now that I am the proud owner of a Yorkie I will never own another breed, especially not a Buttercup. My guess by looking at her site is that she is a backyard breeder type and that is what she is familiar with, so she has only met yorkies of somewhat questionable breeding…

My experience with my little guy has been that he has surely been willful, but with consistency and positive reinforcement I got him trained in what I would consider a reasonable time, his hair is like silk and easier to maintain than my own hair and I am constantly complimented by guests, coworkers, people out in public about how well behaved he is for a dog. He really is a little gentleman.

On top of that he is an excellent watch dog. Even at his small size he has tried to protect me from an ill intentioned stranger while out walking. Most of all yorkies are sensitive and entertaining! This little guy always knows how I am feeling and if I am down he is always there to cheer me up by doing something funny…

Some people!!!

[TatumsMom]

I sure would like to know if anyone ever asks her what a Buttercup or Munchkin is and actually gets an answer from her. I read quite a bit of her site and she just sounds nutty. One of the things I agree the most with is.... how would she remember what a true Maltese should look like when it seems like most of what she does is crossbreed. Hmmmm......

[viviansnickers]

She's in MI huh???? Hmmmmm, Maybe I'll head over there with Snickers and show her his gorgeous, lucious, glistening coat!! And ADORABLE lil baby face and precious bark we barely hear!! LOL!!! What an idiot to actually say negative things about ANY breed let alone our Yorkies!! Obviously stiff competition for her since Yorkies are so in demand!!! How immature!

I am curious about her though...I wanna bust her on her make believe breed she made up!! UGH-COME ON, making up your own BREED!!!?? I might email her!! She does seem to have SOME good intentions (ex: the food she feeds (Life's Abundance) and the pet store warnings she posts.) I'm thinking the Buttercup is some Maltese mix (prob both parents are mixed breeds as well) as well and the English Muffin oh! I mean Munchkin has some Springer Spaniel or even Pomerianian in it!!

Each page of her site is so freakin looooong, and she mentions off topic things on each page....crazy! Gave me a headache as well....

Wow, what an expert.

I think this is funny Brownie had only his puppy shot's Then I didn't get any till he was 6 & he's more than an excessive barker
Barking has nothing to do with shot's!

I've done some research and the munchkins are pomarainian /yorkie mixes and the buttercups are maltese /shih tzu mixes.

[xoxodoglover89]

Oh my gosh! I'm going through this site and I think this is the woman that my b/f's brother and his wife bought their "english munchkin" from! Wow, what a small world. I never met the woman but I remember when they told me what kind of breed the dog was, I never heard of it. The trainer where I work at told me it's pretty much got 6 or 7 different types of toy breeds in it (pom, shih tzu, yorkie, chihuahua, etc.) I can't believe she'd say something like that about a yorkie!

Oh please list the sights you found this information on because I have been looking all day long on the net for information on these two "up and coming" breeds LOL. I even went to a few Designer/ hybrid sights that lists all their designer doggies and I could find mo English munchkins or Buttercups. I was just tempted to call the lady and ask her what they are. The Buttercups look to be a mix of maltese and Shih tzu if you take a look at their markings and all.

I found the info on the spoiled maltese forum and other breed forums. I aslo called the vet I use to work for in NJ who is very active with the AKC and she also confirmed this.

This person is making a lot of people upset with what she is doing to our breeds and dogs in general.

Yes my yorkies are yappie they are picky I've been trying for years to potty train with no luck but I wouldn't have it any other way. The love and dedication I get from these little girls makes up for all their little quirks.

Cocoalypso -- I want you to come over here and wipe the sweet tea off my monitor as I spewed it when I burst out laughing over your question, does the Buttercup fart flowers. That just hit my funny bone hard. Thanks for the laugh!

[Amanda7]

The scary part is that this wacko is bringing innocent puppies into the world and preaching nonsense that her buyers probably believe! Good grief...what a sanctimonious, pompous @ss!

[chellemabelle]

I took the liberty of e-mailing this nutty "breeder"
Here is what I told her:

"I don't know any reputable breeder or dog lover that would attack a certain breed of dog! So, I am assuming that you are neither a reputable breeder or a genuine dog lover!! Sounds to me like you are just using poor dogs to turn a profit!!
As a Yorkie owner and dog lover, I find your site offensive and you are obviously very ill-informed!! "

We can't let her get away with dissing OUR breed!!

[jmdt]

You go !!!
