That's not the mom with the puppy, it's HER mom's dog that weighs 3 pounds next to the puppy just to show a size difference. The lady said she paid an arm and a leg for her but she's too little to be around her kids blah blah blah...translated means "I bought her and am reselling her to make a profit"
It's extremely fishy to me. First the pictures, that dog has black hair right above it's nose that sticks straight out. That's just weird, they are selling a puppy for that much money but didn't take a picture of it with it's hair actually brushed right? Then she said it's 1.7 pounds and under 1 1/2 pounds. That wouldn't be 1.5 pounds?
Honestly, If I could have afforded it, I would have paid any amount of money to guarantee I got the size dog I've always wanted. I don't think it's stupid to pay a large amount for a friend/pet that will live a very long time and become your best friend. I paid much more for a car that didn't last as long. I don't think people who buy teacup puppies even buy them to show off. I live in a tiny town, who's there to impress? No one.
I couldn't afford anywhere near that though and I wouldn't judge anyone who could afford it. I don't think it makes them gullible if they'd pay that much. It makes them extremely fortunate to be able to buy whatever they want no matter what it costs. I'm completely jealous. |
