Interesting Cross Breed on Craigslist
HMMMMMMM!!
Forum Discussion
I think a quality dog is worth a lot. A dog doesn't have to be registered to be valuable to me. However, I don't think these CL 'designer' breeds are quality, just trying to capitalize on current trends and make a buck.
I remember in the early 90's, Shar Pei dogs were gaining in popularity. This woman I worked with decided to get a pair, breed them and make a 'ton' of money. She had never owned a dog in her life. She said she was willing to pay $1000 a piece, and would sell the pups for $3000 each. As you can guess, it was a disaster. She found a pair of pups,(from the same litter)she tried to breed them at the female's first heat. Thankfully, the dogs were too young, she got disgusted and sold them. I know the people that bought them ,and they did get a good home.
