ACK! I can not believe it!

This ad is from a Central Valley online "Yard Sale" group:

FOR SALE:

FULL CHIHUAHUA PUPPIES ~ 2 Female & 1 Male
CHIHUAHUA MIX PUPPIES ~ 2 Female 2 Males

Both sets of puppies were sired by the same male ~ He Is Full
Chihuahua.

The Full Chihuahuas: Mother is Chihuahua
The Chihuahua mixes: Mother is a Small Terrier Mix.

Puppies are family raised and loved. They are not from a puppy mill
and they have not been neglected, mistreated or abused. Parents have
always been fed Pedigree dog food as recommended by their Vet. No
table scraps as it is unhealthy for the dogs. Mothers have been well
cared for before and during their pregnancy. These dogs (and
puppies) are inside dogs. The dogs go outside for fresh air,
exercise and for "bathroom" purposes however, they spend most of
their time inside the home as part of the family.

Rest assured these are healthy, happy, puppies.

Asking Prices vary. I believe the prices are from $150.00 -
$350.00. I could be wrong. If you are interested send me an email
and I will find out exact information. You can also email me if you
want pictures. I am hoping to put up some pictures tonight.

Puppies will be ready to go to new homes the last week of May.

Thank you for your time!

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I was so astounded that they even allowed that post!

I know! I could not believe it! I was, I think it's safe to say, outraged.

Poor babies...

STUPID people...

i sent an email to the admins of that group and am now doing the same for the breeder.. anyone care to put their 2 cents in? but in an educational, not bashing way?

[PoodleMommy]

At least they have been fed top quality Pedigree food!

[BudgetsDad]

I'm sorry... but I'm not catching what is wrong with that ad.

neither am i. it seems like the woman is just having a yard sale and is also selling her puppies...albeit some are mixed breed, but you still have vet and food costs to consider. she is giving good information and is saying she's taken care of the dogs. what's the problem?

[~Tucker&Me~]

First of all, the fact that one litter is mixed breeds.

Secondly, 2 litters at once? Sound ssuspicious...

Thirdly, they don't mention health testing or showing.

Go take a look at all the pups in the shelters.......

Then ask again.....What is wrong with people breeding mutts and purebred byb pups.

And then selling them at a yard sale..........

I bet most of them end up shelter dogs and/or destroyed.

Why do it?
