I do believe I would ask her to accept less money for the pup but I am happy to hear that you plan to provide it a good and loving home 
As long as you are happy with your pup's size and disposition, the "look" is a vanity issue. I just hate to see someone take advantage of you by overcharging. 
Of course, I am also a bit of a fanatic, I would like to see all mixed breed and most purebred dogs neutered. There are just too many abused and unwanted dogs and cats already.
I actually feel guilty that I purchased my dogs rather than rescuing but then when I tried to rescue a Maltese, I was put on a list, and I wasn't that patient |
I have tried to adopt 2 different dogs, and was denied for both because I don't have a fenced yard. They wouldn't even take into consideration taht I was a stay at home mom and my puppy would be an inside dog, and never outside unattended. Sometimes it's ridiculous how strict they are about adoptions. Instead they let the dogs sit in a shelter for 3 years.
