Opinions on this breeder?

I e amiled her and this was a bit of what she said.
It makes me feel like she's pretty good if she is supporting good breeding, I'm going to ask what testing she has done and if she shows. She rarley breeds, she said her female goes into heat spring/summer and she will have the puppies by fall that's if she decides to even breed her.

Finding a good breeder is VERY important, and if you would like help to find a puppy before I have litters I would be happy to help. Please do not buy the cheapest puppy you find, most cases they have not been socialized and really cared for, cresteds can carry genetic issues if the breeder just breeds for lots of puppies to sell. A lot of times you can even purchase an expensive crested from a BAD breeder, so please becareful.
A good breeder is very picky and will usually check up on you, call your vet to make sure your animals have had care, so forth.
This breed is very rewarding if you have time for them..they are like kids and want to be around people.
I start grooming my pups right away so they are not scared of the clippers at all, and basically stand while I clip their faces and pads on their paws. They are very sweet dogs. They like to follow you around, go for car rides..basically you could carry them in a baby sling 24/7 and they would be happy..lol
I have 4 kids under 6 yrs. So my pups are used to kids..however my kids know how to handle cresteds. Since they are a toy breed you do have to be careful of them, they can get breaks easy if they are let to jump off things or out of your arms.

You're thinking of a crested? She seems like she def. cares more about the dogs than as a business. I really like how she offered to help you.

[buttercup132]

Ya I kinda have a thing for hairless animals.
I like how she wanted to help too.
I said maybe even a retired show dog and she said she will keep her eyes open for them and for any nice puppies she sees.

Please tell me they have more than two females if they have a "few litters a year". Are any of their dogs shown yet? There really isn't much info, but if that's it I'd say she's just a dog lover about to become a byb. Choosy words make her website look good, but that's about it. I see she ships dogs. How soon would she be willing to ship? Sometimes that gives you a hint about what kind of breeder she is.

Sorry, but what is the importance of if a dog has been shown yet or not, so long as it has the proper health tests performed on it?

[buttercup132]

This is what she said about showing and testing.

I have had the vet check their legs for patella's, and they are good. I have not had their eyes tested yet, they do not have a eye vet here, or around here. I am going to the specialty show for cresteds in CO and have heard they have a station set up for testing there, so if they do my girls will be done.
Tango is too little, they need to be 1 yr old for testing, both of his parents are tested and he will be when he is one. I have had their eyes checked and look clear by my vet, but they really do need to be cleared by a eye doctor.
My boy is in training to be shown, we are so excited for him. He has a strong line of champions in him. My girls have not been shown but are standard, and hope to get some nice show pups from them.
I have a couple past pups that will be shown this year as well

Please tell me they have more than two females if they have a "few litters a year"

Why would she? I'd rather see less females then a place over run with them..More females to me means more of a byb.
Jordan only has Visa and I think she's a pretty dam good breeder.

I see she ships dogs. How soon would she be willing to ship?

She said to me she ships to Canada every once in a while if she knows they are going to good homes. Since she doesn't even let her normal puppies go without all it's shots I'm sure it's the same for puppies being shipped.

OMG! I love Cresteds! : D I am really excited for you, they are the most awesome little dogs.

That breeder, however, looks WAYYY less than satisfactory, quite frankly. Her dogs have not been shown, and they have not been completely screened for genetic health. Those are two ginormous NO-NOs. Even if she has plans to show and health test (which trust me, that is the story that many BYBs tell)... it has not been done. And her dogs are already being bred.

I would advise that you drop this breeder like a hot potato... and check here & here for reputable breeders. This breed is LADEN with BYBs and Millers, some of them appear to be good, but you really need to at least go with a breeder who has tested for every single genetic fault before breeding, at the very least. I know you are passionate about responsible breeding, and I know you're smart!

ETA: OoOoOoOo! These dogs/breeder look amazing!

Sorry, but what is the importance of if a dog has been shown yet or not, so long as it has the proper health tests performed on it?

Ummm.... the importance is HUGEEE! Not in breeds who are proven through their work (like Border Collies), but with Chinese Cresteds... absolutely, being proven as a quality show specimen is vital BEFORE even thinking of breeding.

Say every breeder bred dogs willy-nilly, with no show experience. What would happen to our breeds? Their conformation would just disintegrate. What makes them the breed that they are (their appearance, movement, structure, and yes, even temperament) would be extremely diluted, if not ruined completely, eventually. Showing a dog PROVES, beyond the breeder's personal biased opinion, that the dog is an excellent example of the breed (of course, on top of health testing, temperament testing, and working when applicable) and is worthy of passing on it's genes. After all, why even HAVE breed standards if there is no venue in which to prove that your dog exemplifies it?

OMG! I love Cresteds! : D I am really excited for you, they are the most awesome little dogs.

I know I love them I'm not sure if I will be aloud one or when I will be but I firgured I'd start looking just incase

Thanks Erica I will check out the links I quickly scanned the last one quickly and they even have hairless cats so the puppies would be used to mine lol.

Defensive aren't we. I see you've decided you like this person and are probably going to ignore our advice regardless

A little ignorant aren't we. I'm not some 13 yr old brat. If I was just going to go ahead and get a pup from this person I wouldn't have asked for opinions. I didn't understand what you were saying and after it was explained I said sorry. I don't fully know what to look for with breeders that's why I aked for people to look.

When I know for sure if I can get another dog I will probly also try and go to a show and talk to some people and see their dogs.

[-Pickle-]

yes yes, incredibly cute.

but how long would this one last before we see the thread on here saying its gone to another home/shelter and you get yet another animal?

pardon my disapproval for any breeder willing to ship puppies like merchandise.


oh and im not trying to start a fight session, this is a question i actually mean.

[buttercup132]

but how long would this one last before we see the thread on here saying its gone to another home/shelter and you get yet another animal?

What are you talking about? I've NEVER re homed a dog or cat in my life.

When I was younger and because of my parents I had to re home little animals but I was hmm like 13. I re homed my bunnies in September because I went back to school and it wasn't fair to them. Oh sorry should I have kept them and let them sit in a cage all day? If I had known that I was going to get a job offer and leave school I would have kept them. I also have never dumped a animal at a shelter.

pardon my disapproval for any breeder willing to ship puppies like merchandise.

Just because they ship doesn't mean they view their dogs as merchindise. There was a PT foster on here who has just got shipped by plane to another PT home, so are you saying they are wrong, cruel and think of the dog as merchendise?

You really have no clue what your talking about and you know barley anything about me. Your a stuck up 13 yr old who doesn't care what you say to people and will soon enough have what's coming to you. I hope Karen sees to it that you are banned for the havvoc you have caused here in the past and apparently the future.

[-Pickle-]

oh? well thats a very odd thing to say,
especially seeing as most of us remember a poor little furbaby called IVY.

http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...&highlight=ivy

where were you then?
kitty has a problem and your willing to throw it away!
if you can afford to keep a horse, a kitten and a crested dog, why couldnt you afford to keep Ivy?
do you even HAVE a heart?
and i dont care if i get banned!
the only 'havoc' ive caused is from telling the truth about a brat that apparently believes animals are expendable!
oh and stuck up?
if anyones stuck up, its you. you seem to take pride in telling younger people to learn their place like your the queen of pet talk and butter wouldnt melt in your mouth.
how far from the truth that is.

yes ive just fired the trouble bullet right through my own skull but you know what? i dont care. ive had enough of you and your never-ending willingness to make up excuses to get another animal. i had more responsibility when i was 5 years old than you have now. shameful.

[buttercup132]

Oh lord child, get your facts straight before you decide to go on a rampage.
You don't pay for your cats vet bills and I'd be surpised if you know roughly the cost of what vets even charge for a check up.
Do you know even what a heart murrmor is?
Do you know how much it would cost to get all the test done on him to even figure out if we could help him?
Do you know the how much it would cost for surguries and medications if we could help him?
I was scammed by the lady who sold him to me.
She said there was nothing wrong with him and he was perfectly healthy.
I took him to the vet for a check up and that's what I found. I didn't want a special needs cat as I know I can't afford one or care for one.
Hence why I'm looking for a good breeder so I don't end up with a dog that will have lots of problems.
I never re homed Ivy I gave him back to the person who sold him to me.
She told me she was going to keep him and treat him, again she lied to me and she is the one who posted the ad to re home him AGAIN.

the only 'havoc' ive caused is from telling the truth about a brat that apparently believes animals are expendable!
oh and stuck up?

Really because I remember you chasing Reggie around in any thread he replied to and would swear and call him names and start arguments.

if anyones stuck up, its you. you seem to take pride in telling younger people to learn their place like your the queen of pet talk and butter wouldnt melt in your mouth.

I never told you where your place is or any other kid?
I have said multiple times to you to respect older people and that wasn't even on PT.

how far from the truth that is.

Pretty far seeing as you don't know much about me. You've been here for not even a year, I've been here almost 3. How could you know 3 years worth of me in less then a year?

This is becoming WAY off topic so if your going to reply do it in pm's please as this is not what I asked for. If you don't like me or what I post put me on ignore and don't read my threads.

[buttercup132]

"oh theres something wrong with this cat. oh i dont want to pay for it. oh its a heart murmur. i blame the breeder. take it back".

No, like I said you don't even understand what a heart murrmor is. It's not just like the cat has a cold or a broken leg. It can't just be diagnosed and fixed. My two cats have had problems I'm sure you have come across during your creepy search on me.
Ducky had crystals and I paid and got that cleared. He went to the vet right away. Milo had a skin problem I took him to the vet and he got antibiotics that again I paid for. It's not a case of the cat just being sick and not wanting to pay for it and that's what you don't get. Until you understand the problem don't bash me.

why does the dog *have* to be a chinese crested? sure- theyre sweet little things. incredibly cute. but is it not possible that she could love a dog that *wasnt* pedigree?

Why does anyone on this board have certain breeds? It's because these are the breeds we like, these are what we are attracted to. I have no problem with mutts I love big mutts. My own dog is a mutt! I've been waiting for a long time to be able to get a Crested and that's what I'm going to get.
