I believe it. I think the people are nuts to do this, but I do believe it. A friend of my daughter's just bought a puppy that is half poodle and half pug. The mother is a standard sized black poodle that weighs about 50 lbs and the father is a pug that weighs about 12 lbs. And this girl paid $200.00 for the puppy! It is the ugliest and oddest looking dog I have ever seen. It is so ugly, that now as a bumbling pup, he's cute; but once full grown he will be just plain ugly.
This girl actually asked me if I would consider mating my female yorkie with her male half poodle, half pug! I took this with a grain of salt because the girl is only 22 yrs old, but I did tell her in the nicest way I could, that not only is it highly doubtful I would ever breed any pet of mine; but I also greatly encouraged her to have her dog neutered. |
