$2, 500 Pom puppy

why does she cost so much? is it really a fair price? she's not sired by a champion but it says champion bloodlines and she's only 7 weeks.

i suppose thats what you get from a site called "next day pets"

and that one. 2 and a half grand for a mix breed pup... a lot of people get ripped off because of all this

I don't even need to look to tell you it's a puppymill/BYB.

Yup !! There's a sucker born every minute !!

Well BYB/Mill aside..............I really don't know how they can be sure she is 'show quality' at 7 weeks. The way I understand it, they can be hopeful, but usually takes a little longer to judge conformation and what not, could be wrong of course..........don't know much on smaller dogs.

But ya, I would think BYB

I actually checked their website a while back... Definitely a BYB. Look at all the dogs they have, with no mention whatsoever of health testing.

i wouldnt even pay 2500 for a champion sired female of that age. MABE a 1 yr old pom with points to her major from champion lines and full breeding rights.
but a 7 week old puppy....NO!

It's not too steep for a toy breed really, however, I'd not buy her. Maybe if the pup was a Ch import sired pup, older, or something, but that dog screams BYB to me.

ACooper, you're right, you don't really n=know show dogs at that young. Some can be hopefuls, and many hopefulls will pan out. But when we got Beau at 10 weeks, he was just a hopefull. Actually, they thought he'd end up pet quality. Whoops, were they wrong. xD Kind of funny because we weren't in the market for a show dog so it didn't matter, but we ended up with one anyways. Now we're addicted to showing... lol

Off topic slightly, but a lady I know paid $10,000 on a JKC Ch papillon bitch imported to the US. Here's the kicker though- she only owns a fourth of her! There are four owners. So a $40,000 dog... I don't think I'd ever pay that much for ANY dog no matter the bloodline.

People are just plain stupid and there are plenty of people willing to take advantage of that.

And here's their website.

"Special hybrid". No kidding, thats what they are calling this dog.

I didn't know they went for that much, byb.

Champion lines only means something to someone who has no clue!!

Never mind...........too far off topic

Wow. That price is a bit frightening. As well as the site as a whole.
And I had to scoff at that "special hybrid."
