Seriously? I have said nothing other people have not said about other breeders. I am also not the only one who brought it up. There is enough proof to me for me to think she is a bad breeder it my OPINION but whatever floats your boat.

Post evidence, please. If it's on her website, then post links and quotes.

Its on puppyfinder. That is what I got out of the wording and there certain in nothing about a spay or neuter contract. Please feel free to post your sources that makes her a good breeder.

I totally agree. That's just way too much money for what you're getting

Okay, I can't find anything at either of these links about the breeding of "tinies" or the granting of unrestricted breeding rights.

A couple of glowing reviews at this link about her Yorkies. A mediocre review of her Maltese:

I'll check out the puppyfinder website and get back to you...

As an average consumer, there are many red flags in common with brokers etc, for me beginning with the exuberant prices. It is opinion when anyone reviews a breeder. I have no idea what kind of breeder she is but based on her website information, I would not recommend or purchase from her. The OP asked I answered.

I've looked at some past threads just now where some well respected breeders have vouched for her, and that would be the only positive I could look at, her prices are still ridiculous, unless for some strange reason they are that high?

I don't see anything wrong with any of the comments, they are all true, look at her website, there are many redflags that we commonly throw up when looking for puppies...we have seen it many times on this board with the same red flags and unfortunately many a pup, including my own.....

She would never breed for tinies, but she does end up with tinies - she keeps them a bit longer, which is wonderful. She kept my Marcel until 16 weeks bc he was just so little. He now weighs about 4 lbs - but looks more like a 3-pounder bc he is uber cobby / stubby / box-like / compact. He is the MOST affectionate little fur baby I've ever been owned by - LOVES to be held, petted, massaged, babied.

I just wanted to add I almost got a pup from Gold Dust and ended up being impatient and making an impulse buy on what was cute and available at the time. I wish I had made the smarter choice. Personally the best breeder in the world couldn't convince me to pay 6 on a pup, especially when a lot of champion sired go for around 2. I hope you find exactly what your looking for but don't be surprised.

Yes, I know about the puppy weight theory but when show breeders have been breeding dogs for 30+ years, they kinda' get a sense of what their dogs will look and weigh. Not saying the breeder will always be exact. I'm just tired of dealing with backyard breeders who know nothing about dogs and will say anything to sell a dog. She is for sure legit as I have asked around about her many times. I honestly just wanted the opinions of those who have dealt with her because I love hearing feedback.

I do understand the frustration. I had the same problem as byb are everywhere in my area. When my friend told me about Lily's breeder, and doing my research, she was a God send. It was a breath of fresh air to find a good breeder. And I have been blessed with my sweet Lily. I would also check references and visit her kennel. I was lucky enough to get to visit and see both mom and dad. I do think her prices are outrageous. I paid top dollar for Lily in my area. But it wasn't any where near the prices she is charging. Sorry I have no dealings with her nor know anyone who has.

Some of the wording in the puppyfinder ads is a little unfortunate, but ultimately she tells potential buyers to contact her for further information. I *doubt* that she would sell unrestricted breeding rights to anyone who walked in off the the street, and there is no evidence that she has done so in the past. Or that her dogs are unhealthy. There is tons of evidence that her dogs are championship winners, for what it's worth.

This really just infuriates me you don't seem to be going to other people's post about this breeder or any other breeders we have reviewed on yorkietalk before. My post is no different then hundreds of others. Because you have a link to this breeder you I guess think things should be different.

You can believe whatever you want . BTW, I did go to the links that were posted in this thread, and I gave my opinion of them.

Her pups are tripled the price of more renowned show breeders, her pups are beautiful, I don't give a rats ass what she says, she is it in for the $$ $6000 is beyond ridiculous, its the most ridiculous price I've hear on here yet... There are several breeders who can and will say her pups are beautiful and show quality, however; I beg any of them to explain to me why these pups are $6000...please...or better yet why her counterparts DON'T sell their pups for $6000.


I will never hesitate to say I am wrong when wrong, I stand by what I say her ads are questionable, her prices say "hahahah you've been had, bless your heart" duhhhhh

The fact is I did nothing that has not been done in hundreds of other posts so why aren't you going and reporting them?
