$350.00 is a bit expensive for a cross bred dog. In my opinion a breeding such as this, puppies should be placed in homes and not sold. Not saying they are less loveable, less wonderful, but, shouldn't be sold.

Maybe animal shelters should start advertising "designer dogs". Maybe they could place more that way. Same difference.... JMO

If I found a dog on the street that was lost and thought it was adorable and saw "needs daily medicine" on the tag, I would definitely contact the owner. I wouldn't want to keep it not knowing what was wrong with it. The foster mom I got Toby from thought that was an excellent idea so thought I'd pass it along to everyone.

I've been doing that for years. It is a good tip. But I had not mentioned it on here only because some people who may like to steal our babies will think twice about what it says if they've read people are doing this

I do feel 350 is on the high end. But I am not sure what vet costs in that area. I would assume if you were to pay for a mixed pup, enough to cover first shots and such is a good price. Here shots run you around 100$. I paid 150$ for Lola with all of her belongings, but she was 10 months old.

I guess its up to the person, I got my yorkie from a breeder and he has papers, but I have no intention of registering him because I don't plan to do breeding (he is in right now being fixed) I don't plan on showing he is just our baby. So is there any reason I should do anything with the paperwork?

I really forgot I even had the paperwork until I read this post today! He is now 3 1/2 months
