Did anyone see the "Mini-St. Bernard" advertised in Marie Claire?

Question

This is really bothering me....

I am a subscriber to Marie Claire because it's a fashion magazine that I feel is intelligent & admirable in the way it prints articles about women's rights and global issues alongside fashion news. With my December issue I got a luxury gift guide full of high-priced gift ideas... fun to browse until I got to this item on p. 29:

A big, brandy-toting companion sounds great but won't fit in your condo. "Mini Saint Bernards" to the rescue! The recipe for this hip hybrid is top secret. ($1000, www.puppyhaven.biz). 

You'll see if you check out the website it's clearly a puppy mill of the worst caliber. I am so disappointed in MC I plan to write to the editor. She welcomes all feedback at joannacoles@hearst.com. Please join me in letting her know puppy mill hybrids are definitely not hip!

I just went to this site and it is def. a puppymill if you look in the background of some of the picture you can see big black metal cages and more than a dozen puppies in each of them. I think you should let the editor know.

Oh. My. Gawd.

It doesn't even look like a Saint, it looks like some sort of terrier mix.

PT Barnum was right.......

DONT be ignorant enough to use the word "hybrid" as there's NO SUCH THING!!!

 Use MUTT/MONGREL!!! Cause *that's* the correct term! You'll sabotage your case by sounding UN-EDUCATED! 

MUTT/MONGREL..NOT "hybrid"...that's CROOK-SPEAK & =LIE!!!
