Please don't fall into the whole "designer dog" fad...they are mixed breed dogs, and anyone breeding them purposely is not a reputable breeder. Please take your time and research and find a reputable breeder....mainly to make sure you get a healthy puppy. You wouldn't believe how many health problems our toy breeds have becauase of irresponsible breeders. And these "designer dogs" are NOT healthier than purebreds. Backyard breeders do NO health screening on their dogs and most toy breeds have similar genetic problems so you are just as likely to get an unhealthy mixed breed as an unhealthy purebred...especially if you buy from a bad breeder. Buying from a reputable breeder that health screens their dogs gives you a MUCH higher chance of getting a healthy dog.
Also, is this puppy a surprise for you DIL? A puppy does not make a good gift. It's so important for the person to know they want a puppy & be able to research and pick out the puppy themselves. Many puppies given as gifts end up rehomed after the newness wears off. Please let your DIL search for her puppy with you
