Tommy Coyote Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I just stumbled onto this by mistake. They have an internet ad that comes up when I put in border collie art. Do you know you can buy a border collie/australian shepherd cross for only $650. What a deal. Step right up folks. They breed their own dogs and also sell dogs for other breeders. I guess that makes them a broker? They not only have about a zillion different breeds but they all cost about $700 or more. And they also have a whole bunch of designer dogs, too. Wow! http://www.laughlinkennel.com Just an aside: there is a woman here in Kansas City that is selling labradoodles for $3500. And I think she a backyard breeder. Man, I missed my calling.

I don't understand. You call that a deal? My daughter told me she paid $500 for Jin. I always sold pups for about the same price. So I guess tI need to be brought up to day. How much is a B C pup these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz P Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I've driven past that place. It is well known in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here border collie/Aussie crosses are considered Oops dogs and probably go for $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitors are welcome there. The puppy mills around here are so awful and usually the people living there just live in total filth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedismom Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 This whole designer breed thing seems to be taking off. It is a new money maker for back yard breeders. My co-worker bought a Cotralian (cocker/aussie) recently for $500. One of my students told me the other day that they have a new puppy. So excitedly I asked, "what kind?" "A Morkie....Uhhh..a what?...Morkie"...So I racked my little brain and came up with.."you mean a Maltese/Yorkie mix?" Yup....The breeders market these dogs as having all of the good characteristics of the 2 breeds and none of the bad ones. In fact, I am sometimes asked if my Cadi is one of those new miniature golden retrievers. Nope..just a good old $50 SPCA mutt thank you very much.

Everyone who lives around here knows exactly what it is and wants it shut down. But as they say, there is a sucker born every minute...

I'd almost lay money on it. We've had pet store contracts and the designer dogs often sell for more than the purebreds. Which really doesn't matter since any pup bought from the pet store is likely to be a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizmo Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 From the contract. Health Warranty Limitations The puppy is a living creature and may require veterinary care for any number of reasons. *MAY* require vet care? May? *shakes head* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie_Girl Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 The puppy is a living creature and may require veterinary care for any number of reasons. Yeah, like lousy breeding, assembly line breeding, not knowing the true disposition or health risks,,,,,,yeah, any number of reasons.

vanillalove Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 How the heck ISN'T that place shut down yet? I don't understand. Even a sucker has to be REALLY stupid to think that this could even pass as a reputable place to get a puppy. I just love how their suggestion to find the right breed is through an online quiz. Oh and their contract is a riot. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
