Sounds like FlDebra found and answer in all this.

JMO and to help- Peggy: You really should never post photos of dogs that do not belong to you or are not in your own possession. It is just kinda of common curtesy not to, since it can give buyers the wrong impression. It is just not the right thing to do.

Also - since you might not know this: you should not advertise a 15 Day old pup as a show prospect, since it takes a minium of 5-6 months to tell if a pup has the potential. And - Advertising a mixed breed as a show prospect is not correct either, since you can't show in confirmation a mixed breed with AKC and your registry of ACHC does not hold shows. It just shows there is a lot you do not know...and

If the sire (dad) or mom (dam) of the pups for sale are not champions - it is also not correct to advertise them as champion sired.

It is a learning process - we learn more as we go along.

JMO - I just do not believe in breeding mixed breeds, since they really are a mix. And then charging 1,200.00 for one. Yikes!

AKC will be allowing (as far as I know) mixed breeds be to be registered under a "Special" registry so people can enjoy showing their mixed spayed/neutered dog in Agility, Rally, and Obediance, but they will not be able to compete in Confirmation. Confirmation is competing for their championship and to show for breed worthy.

And the 2 pound 14 week old pup you are talking about might make weight when fully grown. I had one this small then and is now 5.5 pounds at 2 years old.

I hope this clears things up and makes some things better.
