I wish her good luck with her new puppy, too. They are so very fragile when they are small - wherever you get them, just the move is a shock. I think people talk a lot more about bad than good experiences as a rule. I have personally seen very little first hand bad experiences with Jeff, and he has been breeding for a very long time. He does it full time for the past 10 years and stays up with each mother as they whelp.

well, if my friend has a good experience i'll be the 1st one to give kootos to The Great Dane. ;) i'll keep you posted. ...promise.

LIke I said I had no Problems with Puppyfind, BUT then again my pups are REG so on and I still keep in contact with EVERYONE I have sold a pup to and they can contact me day or night I dont care if they have any questions about any of my pups. I also ask for updates to see how they are doing so on. I am probably one of those noisy pesty breeders lol. I am even goign to go to one of their houses when there Dane is going to have pups to help them out.

Just make sure you have lots of phone calls, emails, visits so on whatever comunication you can have before and after you buy your baby.

My Dad got a Yorkie off puppyfind and he was great I think they paid a little to much though (2k) but he is cute and doing great so far. What pisses me off about them getting Charlie is they have the AKC papers and they arent going to paper him. :mad: He has ch in his lines so on, who knows maybe it was one of you who sold him to them lol. I know he came from mid west.

Guess I cant really say to much due to the fact alot of my pups can go for 1k-3k.

i think that's the ticket right there. :cool:

I got Bijou from Jeff about a little over a month ago. I was freaked out buying one over the internet, but I couldnt find one here or even one to adopt/rescue. She is so cute and healthy. I took her to the vet right away and they said she was very healthy. Then I took her to a friend who shows yorkies for 30 years. She was impressed. So im very happy. But it was really hard buying a dog I'd never met. Im glad she turned out with a great personality. So far so good.. :) :)

you sound liuke an extremely good breeder. But to be honest breeders like you can be rare on puppyfind.com . I got my tucker from there and was very fortunate!!! but before him, i got a pomeranian puppy from there from a breeder named cheryl boettger and it was a mess! I payed for a puppy and waited 6 months and she kept making exscuses as to why she wouldn't send him to me. Finally after threatning to sue she sent me a whole other puppy who was much larger then what i payed for,not the dog in the pictures from her and he died 4 days after I got him form parvo virus(the baby suffered so badly :( ). Throughout my contact with her she lied several times, now she refuses to refund me and most importantly does not care about the puppies she sells. Also I came in contact with several other ppl who have had issues with her and i found out that she is a puppy broker and her supplier is a puppy mill. But she's on puppyfind with good ratings(which are probally fake) And lots of people adopt/buy from her.A woman i am in contact now has lost several 1000's of dollars in vet bills,and her two puppies from Cheryl are still on deaths door as we speak. And when she tried to post a bad review about her to warn others,puppyfind actually REMOVED them !!!! Her name is Cheryl Boettger and she sells "teacup" pomeranian puppies, tell your friend to be careful please. My new pup yorkie tucker has mended my heart over that experience, but i'm still going after her juggler!

this really is good news. i hope my friend will have the same positive results. i'll keep you posted.

check this out. now she's looking at a couple puppies on puppyfind.com. i probably need to forward your story to her but...good NIGHT! she doesn't learn! i know it doesn't have to be all bad but the odds are NOT in her favor. :rolleyes:

I'm so glad to hear good stories about Jeff Dane because, like I said, the post I accidentally happened on were not good. I am sure even the best breeders can sometimes have misunderstandings. I'd just recommend a visit to the whatever place you are interested in and I prefer breeders who home breed for one breed only. But, as long as the results are good, That's what matters.

Update
 

the puppy got a clean bill of health so far. :) the bump could be a hernia but it looks more like a sliver. if it is a sliver the vet will remove it when she's older. (i don't understand that part. why not remove it now? :confused: ) there's still a possibility it could be hernia.

the new owner plans to have blood work done in the next few days as well.

she's 2.3 pounds but the doctor expects her to gain at least another pound.

...to be continued.

The pup
 

What is the DOB for the pup your friend got? I think 2.3 lbs is small and a wonderful size.

Virginia

i'm not sure of the exact date but it's somewhere around the middle of June. i'll have to ask her again.
