Cross Breeds

what would you do? craigslist?

Ok so i just checked craigslist with a search for puppies and here are 2 adds i came across that are making me kind of angry add 1: They were born on November 8th 3 girls and one boy the mom is full yorkie terrier her hair is short because we keep it trimmed if not it will grow long. She got in heat and got out of our garage and mated with another breed of dog we dont know his breed so because of that we are sellin the puppies for cheaper than they go for. The average full breed terrier puppie go for 400 to 1000, so we are selling ours at a low price. We have 3 girls and one boy he is the white and black, the rest are girls so if u want to buy one of the girls the are goin for $250 O.B.O and the boy is goin for $350 O.B.O. This will be a great christmas for a wife or a small child because the puppies wont get real big so its a great house pet. Contact me via Email and leave your contact info SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY... kdbriggs24@yahoo.com kdbriggs2710@yahoo.com add 2: 9 very cute lovable puppies that are 7 weeks old now. Great Daine Lab mix. all black, some have white on the paws. Big dogs great around children of all ages, easy to train. The mom Is a English Chocolate Lab and the dads a black Great Daine. Were asking 100.00 and we want to keep it at that. They'll make great christmas presents! My email address is where you can reach me best (sturgeongetterjames@yahoo.com) My name is james.

1. I would not respond to them. I would report them for violating the terms of craigslist since people are not supposed to sell animals on there.
2. Well the Yorkie mixes I would laugh in their faces when I tell them how stupid it sounds that they think mutts for $250 are a deal. I also HATE when these BYBs try to sell a specific gender or colour for more. There are soooooo many Dobermann "breeders" that try and say the red/blue/fawn ones are "rare" and up their price by like $200. So ridiculous! For the Great Dane mixes - I would clearly have to rag on them for not being able to even spell Great Dane, I will commend the fact that they aren't trying to get more than $100 for them. But hate that they are trying to sell them as Christmas presents - that's like a beacon for every idiot in the world to go buy a dog! Legit: Quattro's nickname is "the kid".
3. Honestly,I always flag byb ads and get them deleted. a couple times I have sent them messages with videos like the ones posted here frequently about over population and the problems they are causing in shelters. legit:boo boo,doodoo bug,pooh bear =]
4. the posts should be flagged, NEVER buy purebred dogs on craigslist they are almost always lying and craigslist only allows rehoming fees dont trust them,!
5. I would ask typical questions such as what genetic testing they do, if I can't keep the pup, will they take it back, what's the health guarantee etc. I would LOVE to see their response. Legit: Terbear
6. B@stards. Flag them for violating the terms of craigslist as breeders are NOT allowed to advertise or sell pups on there. Only rehoming fees are allowed to be advertised. Legit: Snuggles' nicknames are Snugs, Snugglebug, Buggles, Snurgleton Von Burglebean, Buggy, Snuggy-Wuggy, and a host of retarded other ones. Clover's are Cloverleaf, Chloe, Monkey, Stinkapotamus, Sillysaurus Rex, and whatever else I come up with that I think is clever.
7. The fact that they are actually putting PRICES above £50 is unbelievable. Can't see *all* of those puppies going to forever homes, one because they are selling them at Christmas time as Christmas presents and two because they hardly seem like they care much for their own dogs, let alone the puppies. Legit: Tess= Tessy, Tessica, 'Baby', 'Puppy' (even though she's nearly 2!) Millie= Milliepeed, Millymops, Mopsy.
8. Report like you did, and delete my IE history so I didn't go back to that page or else I wouldn't be responsible. It makes me mad too, that someone thinks they can 'sell pups for christmas' just as the saying goes, a dog is for life, not just christmas, but what would the BYB care? Abbie; Ab, Abb, Abbs, Nab, Naba, Nabit haha we mostly call her Ab or Abbie.
