They're spam bots - not really people

For my 2nd puppy I'm trying to go off the AMA list. Right now I'm waiting on some litters from Cheryl Dawn Shoemaker (Babydoll Maltese), Cheryl Filson(Cher-Chien Maltese), and Bobbie Dodd. All of the litters are due any day now.

Hi there...I'm SO late in this and not sure if you have a puppy yet or not, but I have FOUR dogs from Cheryl Filson (Cher-Chien) and I can't recommend her enough. She is such a wonderful person and you would be thrilled with one of her babies. She currently has THE cutest!!! boy available! He is ready to go home and the ONLY reason, she isnt keeping him is because she just doesn't need a boy, otherwise, not sure you could pry him outta her hands.

My Pepper is a rescue. He was born in a puppy mill in Florida, rescued by a fabulous group in Georgia, fostered in Massachusetts, and now is happily (I hope) living the good life in NJ.

He's traveled more in his almost 2 years than I have!

My Malt Allie came from a family who "Didn't have enough time for her". I hate that saying, but that's just my OPO. She is a very sweet doggie. I have no clue where she came from exactly. No back ground what so ever actually other than they took really good care of her as far as heart worm preventative, good quality food and treats, vet care, etc.

meant to post under 1 above

[Sammie]

My puppy came from a local lady who breeds in her home and has several females and one male. I think most people don't do as much research as when buying a new car. I know I did not on the possible issues if you don't go to a true breeder. Just always wanted one, so I started looking in the paper. I had not heard of BYB or any of the issues. I had a Lasa for 12 years and no issues and she was from a pet store when I was 21. I thought of cages in the yard being a BYB. She is kind, dogs are very clean and loved. Then one day I went to visit my pup/girl and some of the liter was gone and she had stitches. Something happened with adult dogs and mother. Anyway she did not make it. So I bought the only 2 brothers left. I went for (1 female) and came home with (2 males) that was not a good match as it is. Should be one of each sex. And then it gets worse, one of the males passed away from the shunt problem at 7 months. The breeder was very upset and refunded my $. I learned the problem happens after you have met and held them. You want them. I have my precious Sammie. He has no problems excepts his ears were up and folded but they poke up at the fold a little through the hair still. Don't notice it really. If I get him a playmate it will be from a referral. A true breeder. There were no liver testing on puppies and went home at 8 weeks. They were so tiny. I don't have records of any but his parents. I have since read and learned I should have went to a true breeder. Had a liver test. Good news is I have Sammie and he is a doll baby.

I just got my Reese from TNT (Tom and Theresa Meyer).

[Cosy]

I purchased two maltese (at different times) from Bonnie Palmer of Angel Maltese. Toy is the oldest and a great little dog. She left with my daughter once she was grown and moved out on her own. I also have Cosy who is two years younger than Toy. She is a doll and a joy to have.
