does anyone have any experience with this breeder?

No, but after a quick look at the website I cannot see anything that would tempt me to buy a pup from them!

Okay, I'll try and remain unbiased here, but I'll admit up front it will be a challenge.

First, I've never heard of this breeder, but the website is cause for concern (IMHO). No health testing info, no pedigrees, nothing. Oh, and And that's just for starters. (There sure are a LOT of pictures of the "family" on the About Us page though, yet very little about the breeding program, etc.)

The poodles are not only in mucky outdoor runs behind chain link fences, but they don't look as if they receive proper (basic) grooming--the paws are shaved, but that's not enough to satisfy me. Along with both SPOOs and TPOOs, this breeder also advertises Yorkies and Mastiffs for sale (not 100% sure about the Mastiffs). Odd combination, to say the least. Is this a poodle breeder or what? (Ironic that the TPOOS, Yorkies and Mastiffs are all posed in frilly indoor pictures.)

All of this concerns me a great deal. Yes, I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to poodles or dogs in general, but this website doesn't inspire my confidence. At all.

And then there's this on the puppy page (scroll down twds bottom): PUPPIES FOR SALE
That suggests to me that she just wants to unload this little TPOO girl. Cash? Nothing about references or applications. Just "give me cash and take this dog off my hands."

Now I'm upset. :-(

They state their dogs are ckc...do not be fooled they are not Canadian Kennel Club (Canadian Registry) but Continental Kennel Club which in my opinion is a registration site used by breeders who want their dogs to appear legimate but probably do not have legitimate breeding rights.

That is really upsetting. Five years old...not housebroken...what kind of life has that poor girl been living? I mean at some point she wasn't taking care of a litter...where was she living? The barn?

supysmom

thank you all for being honest. she is actually selling puppies through ebay classified.
I admit, I was pulled in because of the yorkie on the front page.
thats why I ask. I'm not ready to buy, but I want to see whats out there. I know there are great breeders out there that are doing everything right.
I'm not sure if I want a puppy or a young dog. I would like to rescue, but I do have my heart set on a white female (standard)

Rowan

That's great! I can almost guarantee you'll find one in rescue. Carolina Poodle Rescue has dozens of poodles, as does Poodle Rescue of Houston, and not all are listed on the website. When you're ready, contact one or both and see what's available. I predict you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Supysmom, check out Avalon in southwest Wisconsin. She has a great reputation and breeds white, silver and black Spoos.

Wtf, do they even know how to clip nails? Look at the mastiff pictures. Those poor dogs nails are so long their toes have to be curling when they walk.

Don't buy from this breeder, if anything, you should BOYCOTT them.

This breeder is upsetting on so many levels. Please don't support this type of operation! Those poor dogs. You also have to consider health issues that could appear in one of these dogs, and the potential heartache and expense those would bring. Her too-low prices may seem like a bargain now, but in the long run? Too many red flags.
