| I would say go there and see what you think. The one thing I like about this breeder is she is not trying to breed for the tiny ones that sell for more and could be less healthy. I agree with Bianca that you do have to be careful but I know for a fact you don't have to pay $2000-$3500 for a nice puppy. You are right, you are looking for a pet and not a show dog and no one looking for a show dog would pay that either. They would wait until they found one a bit older that a breeder would pretty much guarantee show quality. ( pups go through too many changes) You will know if she is for you or not but remember all the red flags and a website can surely make things look wonderful. Good Luck and let us know what you decide. Joan

| I just looked at that male for $1500. That is a beauty. Ch. sire and dam and only $75 to neuter. I know you want a female but males are great unless he is already lifting his leg. Don't know how old he is.

| Ok, that thread on the link you posted was LOOOONG lol but I read through the whole thing. When you go, please make sure you check the puppy's living conditions. When I looked at the website her puppy cottage threw up a red flag for me. Also, the fact that she is advertising teacup pups bothered me as well (I don't hold that against her because some good breeders might just be uninformed and think that small means teacup). I know you will make the right decision. The pups are cute and appear to be well taken care of, you never know till you see for yourself. Good luck!!!

If she have only 6 little dogs...what on hell are they doing in a kennel instead of in her home!? To me, look like she have more dogs or doesn't care about the one she have. I am a breeder and I also have 6 dogs right now. I use the family room as a dog bedroom so the dogs have their own place to sleep at night and to hangout when I am not home. I work mostly from home so the dogs are usually with me all day free to go in the house and have access to my small backyard.When the females have puppies, the whelping box is in the living room . So really with one or two "dog's room" set up in your house and a backyard you can EASILY accommodate 6 small dogs....Why this kennel? Look REALLY fishy to me... Just my opinion... | |

| I would certainly use caution............if you feel better to go and see first hand; do it! But I agree with Bianca.........there are a lot of good breeders to select from that have no "red flags."

| I didn't see where she advertised tea cup but I rushed through it very quickly. I do think a small breed like Maltese and Yorkie should be in their home but I would bet she has more than one breed unless I missed something else. This maltese could be in the OP price range and it never hurts to look if you are the kind of person that can leave even after you have held her and know it's the wrong thing.

| Also it sounds she may want breeding rights and this breeder may be willing ??? Not sure if she wants to breed or pet?

Thanks I just rushed down to the bottom of the page. I did read where she said, she breeds for the (4-5 1/2) but once in awhile gets smaller. Of course that is a way to get around it. I still think that $1500 male is super unless she wants to breed and that would be limited reg. I'm sure.

| There are three breeders in Illinois recommended by the American Maltese Association. They will be able to refer you to other reputable breeders. http://www.americanmaltese.org/2009_...eders_List.pdf The Maltese shown on that website are not good representations of the breed. Reputable breeders breed to the Maltese standard. Maltese should be raised in the house around people, not out in kennels. You want to get a Maltese from a reputable breeder, not a backyard breeder. Here's how to tell the difference: Backyard Breeder vs. Reputable Breeder |
