Several things are distressing to me:

"Purse baby" & "Teeny tiny" are buzz words used to get a much higher price for a dog! What is really bothersome to me is the ad doesn't mention that the dogs are or will need to be spayed. This SHOULD be done before the dogs are sold!! They are a year old, so they are old enough to be spayed. I can't stand the thought of someone buying 2 1/2lb dogs and breeding them. If they are required to be spayed, why don't you mention that in the ad?????

Shipping them "worldwide" I hope that's not really the case and if NOT, again change the ad!!

I now see that three of the Schnorkies are pending! I can just about guarantee you that the ads being connected to the breeder and the mention of champions etc... is what attracted attention to these puppies, otherwise they would be just like any other mixed breed puppy!
There isn't any way the breeder could place these ads with her name, email, phone number, etc.. and not expect this to come back to her reputation.

Seriously, if this was an accident and they are not puppies in her care, control and she has no say over how much, when they leave, etc..
Then she should distance herself from them and her family should have their own account and ads placed.
I don't see what difference not having them on your own website makes when all your info is in the ad with a link back to your website!

These are GREAT questions, all hurt feelings and PM's aside I'd love to hear the answer to this.
