Mandy's puppies - 10 days old!

This doesn't make any sense. If Sophie is going to have her first litter in Mid-January, it means that you are planning on breeding her in November... is it "tentative" based on when she has her first heat? So if she had her first heat in October instead, you'd breed her then?
Just wow. Tucker is 8 months old and is VERY much still a puppy. I couldn't even imagine breeding him at this age, especially if he was a bitch.

All questions that have been asked before and never answered, guys. I don't think we'll get a straight answer ever, to be quite honest.
Think of it this way:
1. Bitches younger than two years being bred.
2. No showing - no Confo, no Sports, no Working. No titles.
3. Very little verifiable health testing.
4. They appear to be breeding for color as their main goal.
5. Associates with other breeders that also have no titles, very little health testing, and appear to be breeding for color as their main goal.
6. Not a member of any breed club.
7. Deposits on puppies taken through PayPal.
8. 2 year health guarantee.
Something to think about.

Ah I see. I would just assume that the button is there as a convenience to those that have talked to her already. Or maybe some people just want to go ahead and put down a deposit before anyone else, and then they go find out if the pup's actually available for them? You could always just refund the deposit if they're not approved.
If you have never shown dogs, how do you know what to look for in a pup? I think my dogs are gorgeous, one is absolutely perfect, to standard and a show winner. The other is a mutt from the side of the road. I think they are equally stunning, it is called bias.
You cannot decide alone that your dogs are show quality. You need a few outside experts to decide that. I find it very unethical that you have sold a puppy as a show prospect when you have no idea what to look for.

I have stayed out of this thus far, but I would like to say that I have to agree with you, puppydog.
If someone is paying for a show prospect (which is alot of money in doxies, somewhere upwards of 1,500.00) then they should get what they're paying for.
It's not fair to say a dog has potential if you don't know if the parents or grandparents even have show potential.
Why would you even claim that? That is upsetting.

Do I have a big PayPal button on my site? I must have missed it!
Or are you talking about the small fonted www.paypal.com?
I think my final say on this matter is: Yup, I do things a bit differently than some people like. I can't please everyone. I do, however, health test (CERF, PRA and patellas), microchip (with myself listed as the secondary contact), and do a whole lot more that clearly shows how much I care about my dogs and puppies AND my new owners!
I am looking forward to getting into showing and I can't wait to show off pictures from that adventure!

Technically, she can say whatever she wants. It does not make it true.
I could say the sky is green and grass is blue, but that does not mean that I am right.
IMHO there's a big difference between doing things a little differently and what this woman does.
This is a perfect example of why people need to research their breeder. I mean, imagine that you have no idea what to look for in a puppy. All you know is that you want to show.
Then, you stumble upon this lady. You get duped. End of story.
I hope whoever reads this takes a good lesson.
And Molly- no one says you don't care. I believe that you feel you are doing the best you can. I don't think you're a bad person.
But the fact is that you are not being truthful on your dogs. You can't say they are show quality when you have never stepped foot inside of a show ring.
That is why people get upset. It's not that you do things differently, it's that you're saying your dogs are one thing that they obviously aren't.
Good luck in the show ring. I bet you'll learn alot. Hopefully, once you do start showing (if you're really going to do it) you'll meet people who will set you straight that you can relate to.
I think that things that you really should be paying attention to are going in one ear and out the other because of the way that people have come across on this site.
