Those puppies (are they 'hello kitty' type?
) do genuinely creep me out... And $4000 for a pup? Surely that's theft!?
If you are looking for a puppy, please run pas these people to the local breed clubs- best chance of a Healthy, cute pup!
I read this in a signature on another forum, can't remember the exact wording, but something to the effect of... 'when you breed for beauty, you may get a beautiful dog, but little else; but breed for function, and you get a healthy functional dog, which happens to also be beautiful'.
