My neighbors two houses down have a pug without papers and a rat terrier. They want to breed them together and stud him out. They're hoping to find a beagle so they can make puggles which run around $900 each over here. They're in petshops a block up for $1200 each. I saw puggles on Entertainment tonight, all they talked about is how the new hottest trend in dogs were designer breeds. Made me sick honestly.
This also makes it much easier for the puppymills. Now they don't have to worry about searching high and low for a female of a particular breed. A male poodle/yorkie/pug and any other female dog will do just fine. This new trend just bites. |
