Sometimes we think with our hearts and not our heads, but that is what makes life wonderful and worth living!
I have done some really dumb things in my day so I cannot pass judgment but here are some things to think about.
I don't know if you saw the Oprah show but there are so many darling babies that are in need of homes. So many are mixed breeds and are put down because there are simply not enough homes for them. I personally think of you are going to breed why not put all of that time/money and effort into bettering a breed. I am not saying mixed breeds are not lovable and not good pets but simply why create more when we have so many homeless babies out there. To intentionally breed mixed breed dogs does not make sense?
If you really love this little guy then get him and don't let anyone stand in your way but her asking that kind of money is just wrong. If she really wants him to have a good home then she will work with you on the money and you will know what kind of breeder she is.
I just got my little Paxton from Glenda Beavers
Home. He was born on October 28, 2007 and was 4 1/2 months when I got him...he will be six months on the 28th....He is hiking everywhere and has been since the day I got him. We have been dealing with some major diarreah issues and have not been able to get him fixed but I have to take care of this pronto. Hopefully it is not too late! Thank the goodness we have tile/hardwood and some carpet but he seems to like the tile! I love Paxton with my whole heart and soul and will deal with his potty issues till death to us part. Unfortunately I am a clean freak and dog urine stinks and especially on walls and furniture! This little guy may be too old and not trainable so you just have to be willing to love him no matter what! She is selling him for some reason or else she would be keeping him? Ok I will be quite now...good luck no matter what you decide!
