[quote=bearishgur]lI noticed back in April that a single private party “Alex” had no less that 79 litters of so-called “purebred” puppies for sale in different categories of dogs advertised on craigslist san diego. He’s probably still running these ads and is the US “representative” for Mexican puppy mills that are so rampant in the “pet marketplace” around here. It is so sad because these dogs have so many medical problems due to repeated inbreeding that the vet bills in the first year alone could break the average family who adopts one. They are typically sold out of cardboard boxes in parking lots for $275 to $450 (no papers, of course) when a reputable breeder would charge $850 and up. This makes me sick.[/quote]
My wife found this ad yesterday -http://nctimes.ca.kaango.com/ads/viewad?adid=17110412
Purebred bulldogs I thought went usually for over 1k.
