Would you buy this dog?
Taking a break from my writing so thought i'd ask another fairly random q.
If you saw this ad would you buy this dog? Why or why not?
Very rare chocolate liver female Shih Tzu, born 6-26-2010. Housebroke, all shots dewormed and has been vet cleared and microchipped. She has had one litter of puppies for us and we feel she would be a better pet than a mommy. She loves to be with humans but does not like mommyhood. She is not snappy or aggressive just doesn't like to nurse and be with her babies, would rather be with her human companions. Very sweet and loving little girl. She has not been around young children much, so we would rather she go to an all adult home as she may be nervous around small kids. Perfect little girl for anyone wanting a nice pet, that still has many years of enjoyment, but does not want to go thru the puppy, housebreaking and teething stage. THIS BABY GIRL WILL COME ALREADY SPAYED, SO NO BREEDERS NEED INQUIRE. SHE WILL BE READY TO GO IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS. If picked up at my home in IN, there will be a sales tax charge of 7%, or I can meet in Harrison OH to avoid that charge.
And for those doing the math yes she was bred under 2 years of age.
And yet you answered anyways. Guess that says something about you.
Julie: Nope, just another crap breeder. Some states enforce sales tax on sales made from breeders. they are treated the same as a retail sell. Up here in Maine is 5%. The only way around that is to sell the pup OUT of state. In other words if I was to breed any pups sold and transferred in the state of maine would be subject to the 5% tax, any pups shipped out of state would not.
borderline: try $400. And no one with a brain would breed this dog. She's a few pounds under the standard.
Samantha: not into Shih Tzus or 99% of small breeds. Second I wouldn't give this person $400 bucks so she can keep on producing sub par dogs. then again since her pups go for 800-2500 based on color and how small they are 400 is a drop in the bucket. At the end of the day I agree on a good home. Because her current one only saw her as a four legged atm
Ignorance: Uh no offense but did you read the weights on their dogs? Or down on the bottom with their statement of specializing in "imperial and small standard" Small standard nothing, all of their dogs are under 9lbs.
And i'm sorry but anyone who says the extra cost is because of champions in the pedigree and "rare" color isn't a good breeder.
