Holly and Sean Maxwell are not your run of the mill breeders. They BUY Champions to make themselves LOOK good. They show a few dogs, to further make them LOOK good. Their prices are outrageous. But if the few people who buy the dogs, are that uneducated, well, then they SHOULD be ripped off ! Just because a dog is expensive does not make the dog better ! Holly Maxwell has way too many dogs to "properly" give each and every dog the attention they deserve. My question is "why" do they feel the "need" to have this many dogs ??? Some people say they are a Puppy Mill. But a Puppy Mill is way different. "Quantity" does not make you that. It is the way they are kept and treated. I am pretty sure they take care of them. They have been breeding Chihuahuas about 3 years, although they say much longer. Again, to make them LOOK good. They say they do not have a "kennel" and that they live inside their house with them. OMG ! What could that be like ? I would like to see them sell their dogs for a reasonable amount. $1500. to $2000. is reasonable for the quality they put out. Not $4500 and up ! I have heard that they believe, because they have champions (that they bought), they can get higher prices. I know a few breeders that have champions and they do not sell their dogs for these prices. Is it the people that have the "need" to tell their friends, "I paid $3500. for my dog", the ones that are buying them ? You know there are people out there that HAVE to do this. Guess these are the ones Holly Maxwell preys on
