Itort, just playing devil's advocate her, because I personally like my rescued muttlings, but while adopting from the shelter is great there are some advantages to buying from the folks selling the pups. While I wonder about their care, at least this way they can see where the pups were raised and both parents (assuming they have the male too). Often the shelter puppy's breed is a "best guess". Most designer dogs have pure and usually papered parents, so while the puppy is mixed you do know it's real breeds.

Me personally, I think folks are crazy to buy the designer dogs...and more so to breed them...but to each their own.

The statement in the ad about no shots tell me that the breebing was for purely monetary purposes. As a dog breeder of chinese crested dogs from top show parents and all the care that goes into the raising of a litter, I realize the responsibility inharent in raising dogs. We try to keep the welfare of the dog foremost. I have seen my share of the designer breeding kennels in my area and they are for the most part dungeons for dogs. If an individual does decide to purchase one they should ask for and get a full written guarantee for health, in the case of these dogs OFA test results on parents (both breeds are prone to hip problems). As I'm trying to say they are crossbreds and worth about $60 dollars to cover the cost raising them to 8 weeks of age.

Amazing how many dog breeders there are in tortoises...lol. I use to have English Springers and Brussels Griffins. Also showed Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apsos in conformation. My best obedience dog was actually a mix..a pek-a-poo, that was shown in 4H and fun matches.

Sorry for not responding earlier! i pretty much posted this and then left for Mammoth snowboarding. Those puppies are really cute and I wish I could have one or they would get one. But I do as well think the price is ridiculous. In my experience if they are cross breed they should be free or VERY cheap. My Golden Retriever is a pure breed registered dog with both his parents being champions and he was $600. I wish those pups were free, but again that would make it VERY hard for me to resist lol Maybe the price tag is a good thing....
