OMG! tell them to stuff it! Better yet I will.....HEY "other forum" STUFF IT!  There lol

Sure you should let people know of good breeders when you have personal expierence with one. And that takes a special kind of nerve since many of our current breeds here now would NOT be here if they were not origionally brought here from other countries. Sheesh how ignorant of some people.

   I love your frenchies pics!!  I think I said that It was bad to buy from over seas as well!  I will say though, that if you have a healthy dog from overseas-or from anywhere!  Then brag it to the hills, and give me her name and number! !!  Some day I may need it!!!  CUTE CUTE!!

At least if she has someone email you, you can tell them that your pup was happy and healthy.  I beleive I remember the russian women on t.p. also.  They really got on her case.

  I read somewhere on the internet..  Where I read it, I couldnt even begin to guess.  But it said it is because they dont have as high of standards there, for breeds, and they are not as healthy!  I am not saying that is what I believe, it was actually someone elses thread about weather or not to buy overseas.  And I gave my opinion, of the only facts I knew at the time!   But some of the AKCs {my Holly for EX}  is probably the most unhealthiest dog Ive ever come across.   Also I have read that some dogs die during transport!  So I said that knowing the info I read!  But, the more I have been on here, and the {other}.  I soon found out that it isnt all bad, and alot of the USA pups that have all these papers ARE NOT THE HEALTHIEST dogs anyways!  So like I said, If someone gets a healthy dog from Russia, The US, or from Mars for that matter- I think that they should tell people about it!  My Pug Holly is a nightmere of health problums every month!  So I no longer feel that way!  Sorry to offend anybody!

I agree Dusty.
You need to know exactly what you want.
I avoid indecisive buyers like the plague.

I say if you had a good experience with a certain breeder, and got a quality, healthy pup from them, SHARE THE NEWS.  You can only speak about your personal experience, and it seems yours has been good.  Let the naysayers (who have no sirect experience, and are only speaking from what they've HEARD) go pound salt.  They're free to get their dogs wherever THEY want.

hey jess ! no i didnt get annie from irina, although i do correspond with her via email .so i already knew her when she signed on at tp and got slammed in the first reply. what made me so mad is that the people that were doing the most bashing ,were the ones that had never even had any dealings with russian breeders at all. and how sad is that that someone comes to a forum from a foreign country and gets treated so badly by americans. she didnt know that she couldnt post her webite and after it was removed she didnt do it again ,but the bashing continued. sooooo sad. we got annie from tatiana. we got her export pedigree a couple of weeks ago and i need to get it transfered over to AKC . her sires side is all french and her dams side is all russian. lol . but the bottom line is as you know as you are also on the frenchie forum, is most all of the buyers that had problems were the ones that bought from brokers and mills here in the usa. i didnt hear of any problems from the people that had bought directly from the russian breeders themselves.so i think the main thing is doing your homework and thoroughly checking the breeder and if your experience was a good one then you should be able to share it without fear of getting bashed.....        

Why doesn't she join here?
I have posted my web-site and nobody cared or commented on it.

As long as she does not spam the board

, a casual mention of it in context, should not be considered foul.
TP makes money off the puppy mills that advertize on their site, so I assume they discourage freeloaders.
