She just sent me her vet information, I'm going to call tom. I'm still waiting for her references to get back to me.

She seems okay, but i don't wan to jump to soon.

As far as the tear stains, what can be done? I was told removing the eye ducks but that sounds kind of painful

I don't accept Western Union, but when I deal with potential owners I want cash or money order and I give a receipt to the buyer so they have proof of what they are paying for. I do not accept checks because people have been known to cancel their checks right after. So I wouldn't say if she is asking for Cash or Money order that it is a scam. Western Union I would believe is a scam.

Yeah, but you probably get paid in person, right? Nobody should EVER pay cash or money order to anyone for anything (for a lot of money) unless they know the person is 110% legit. There's no way to track it.

Okay I'm stillon my hunt for my little Maltese. i must have contacted 15 breeders yesterday

I'm trying to narrown things down.

I've come up witha list a questions that the breeder must answer

Do you have pictures of her parents?
How long have you been breeding?
What registration does she come with?
Are they paper trained or litter trained when they go home?
Are the dogs kept in your home or in kennels?
What type of food do you feed your dogs and puppies?
Will she have a shot record?
Could you please give me some references of other families who have purchased puppies from you?
What type of contract, conditions or guarantees are involved in the sale of the Maltese puppy?
Can she be checked for LP and hernias before she is shipped?
Could you give me your primary vet's number

And these are the responses I've gotten back

Not a problem at all! Absolutely no offense taken...You need to do your research!

-I am listing little Beth for the breeders. They are an Amish family and I have been listing for them for about 6 months. They are really wonderful people. I go out and take the pictures for them in hopes to get these babies in family homes.
-I didn't take any pictures of her parents when I was out there Thursday. But the mom is as cute as can be!
-Beth is APR registered.
-She will not be paper trained or litter trained and would need to be worked with on that when she gets to your home.
-They have a small kennel at their house. Beth is in an indoor/outdoor kennel and would be considered crate trained.
-I believe they feed Nutri Source Pet Food.
-Absolutely, she will have a shot record and it will be mailed to you along with the registration papers, so that they don't get lost on the crate.
-Here is a girl that just got a Silky from the Troyers on Tuesday-
Wanda Rodriguez- spukstypes@yahoo.com
Marlon Cooper- marlon.cooper1@us.army.mil
-Beth comes with a one-year guarantee aginst congenetial defects. I can go ahead and attach it for you in this email.
-She does not have any hernias. If one were to pop up, the Troyers would go ahead and have it repaired for her.
-Dr. Charles Dake, DVM- 417-452-3301, you can ask the vet about Dwayne Troyer and make sure he takes his animals there and whatever else you would like to know.
-One more thing, you are welcome to call Dwayne (the breeder) at anytime you would like, if you need answers directly from him. 000-000-000, and my number is 000-000-000. Thanks a bunch! Jill

This is Beth

karmaistrue · 10-02-2006, 06:46 AM

Beth (she's cute) but she has a yellow tint I noticed

karmaistrue · 10-02-2006, 06:48 AM

She hasn't gotten back to me yet but I think Cali is too cute. this is from her breeder

Cali is available. She will be ready to go to her new home in about 1 week. A 200 deposit will hold her until she is ready. She is a real sweet playful little girl. She gets along with the other puppies but prefers being held and played with.

Are you local or would you need her shipped?

Let me know if you have any questions

Cali is the one on the right

karmaistrue · 10-02-2006, 06:51 AM

Do you have pictures of her parents?

No, we do not have pictures of the parents. Our breeding stock is all shaved for sanitary reasons…They aren’t that “photo friendly”.

How long have you been breeding?

25 years

What registration does she come with?

APR American Pet Registery..you can read more about APR in the “information” section of the home page.

Are they paper trained or litter trained when they go home?

They are not trained. Many are too young to train.

Are the dogs kept in your home or in kennels?

Kennels
What type of food do you feed your dogs and puppies?

Iams Eukanuba Small Bites

Will she have a shot record?

Yes, and there is a sample on the “Information “ section of the home page.

Could you please give me some references of other families who have purchased puppies from you?

There are some written ones on the “Information” section of the home page. I do not give out the phone numbers of the families who have purchased for their privacy. But I have posted some of their notes they write back.

What type of contract, conditions or guarantees are involved in the sale of the Maltese puppy

Please see the “Guarantee and other information in the “information” section of the home page. It explained there.

Can she be checked for LP and hernias before she is shipped?

All puppies are health checked before they are shipped. LP and hernias are part of the health check.

Could you give me your primary vet's number

000-000-000 veterinarian’s name is Melissa Harberts

YorkieRose · 10-02-2006, 07:02 AM

The only way I would take a pup from the AMISH breeder is if it was a rescue..I rescued too many Amish millers pups in MD..bad news. Dogs were raised like chickens in a coup or barn...peopel have the mistaken idea that the AMISH are all good, God fearing Christians and would not abuse animals..not so..

There is NEVER a reason not to have photo's of the parents..even cut down is accpetable..but a good breeder grows a coat, takes photo's and then they can trim a coat if they want, IMO...anyway, pictures are only as honest as the picture taker..who knows if they are the correct parents..

I know you want a puppy at a low price..BUT save your money, go to a reputable breeder and meet them in sperson..or got to Maltese rescue..good luck

karmaistrue · 10-02-2006, 07:40 AM

She is by far my favorite, I'm just waiting for the breeder to get back to me with the answers to the questions. I've contacted all his references , they all checkout

she is 950.00 ...if you pickup
if she has to be shipped...the total is 1100.00 with shipping and all..
we only hold pups with a deposit 200.00
here she is....she is facing the camera..she has a very nice coat...will be long and silky

karmaistrue · 10-02-2006, 07:42 AM

And last this was the email I got rom the breeder of the original pup I posted about. Her vet gave her the thumbs up, but I'm still waiting to hear back from her references.

do have pics of the parents. I have been breeding for over 10 years full time before that part time.
She comes with CKC registration. I can say that the puppies have been started weewee pad training before they leave. You cannot expect much from a tiny puppy but I do start them. I keep the moms and pups inside in kennels and take them out to potty. After they have weaned their pups I pup them out on concrete runs that have access to warm houses it is also partly covered to protect from extreme heat and rain. puppy chow and Iams. This pup will be on Iams puppy. My pups do come with a shot record I carry them to the vet after they are weaned. I give you a 72 hour health guarantee to get the pup to the vet. If the vet finds any reason for replacement I don't argue I just replace or give you the money back. I cannot refund shipping because I did not keep that money. depending on what is wrong with the pup I may pay to ship it back to myself. My vet does check the knees of the pup. I can say that he is very good and does check for hernias, heart conditions and knees before they are cleared to fly. If he finds a problem and you have already paid me I just notify you and return the money. One ladys pup did have a knee problem and I she still wanted the pup so I gave it to her at a discount. maybe the people will get back with you soon. Thanks, Deborah

karmaistrue · 10-02-2006, 07:43 AM

So what do you think, does anyone stand out as a scam artist? Does anyone seem to be a reputable breeder?

a breeder for toy poodle gave me phone numbers i looked it up and he only had 1 person say bad things and all she said was yes the poodle is very healthy but she was mad cause he liked her husband best so she returned him to the breeder and he gave her another puppy same thing so he just gave her money back and he homed that puppy so a good breeder will give you the good and bad customers

011011 · 10-26-2006, 05:20 AM

cute puppies.Maltese pups are about 250-500 here, not much money for them.Yorkies and king charles are the most $.
We have alot of Amish here also,I HATE the way they take care of thier animals and thier KIDS.Seen the kids walking to school the other day and NO shoes it was 42 degrees.
I would rescue all their horses and cows if I could.Do not know of any of them that sells dogs around here that is a good thing!
Good luck finding your new pup.
