What do you think of these dog ads?

I'm keeping a very small journal where sometimes when I have free time in class I clip out points of interest from the paper. Today I clipped the dog classifieds.

  1. BYB "specials" rings a bell!! Poor people who don't know any better and will fall for their ads.
  2. Sad
  3. Unhealthy pups that may end up in a shelter:(
  4. pretty catching
  5. I agree with vet tech:)
  6. they are all BYB, get rid of the puppies early so i can make more money.
  7. so are u intrested in buying, or do u just want to know what i think WELL i think that it is quite sad, i would go to a shelter some may be pet stores, puppy mills or maybe breeders
  8. i think the best thing would be to go to a breeder and get the pups from them! :)
  9. Anyone who lets their puppies go at 6wks of age shouldn't be breeding dogs. Puppies are at a stage they still need to be with mom. All for the almighty dollar. Truly sad.
  10. wtf is a "shishung"
  11. BYB and puppy mill puppies!
  12. The shishung thing got my curiosity, too, so I googled it also. You might be interested to know that this question has already made it to no. 4 on the Google hit parade. As for the dog, I think it must be a Shih Tzu x Dachshund that's misspelled - d instead of g. It just makes you sad.
  13. go outside and play instead of staring at a computer screen all day as for the ads that must have taken a long time for you to type them all up
  14. GRRRR. Today I psychotically tore a flier off a pole at the dog park advertising a chocolate lab for stud. It was a cutesy add he had "champion bloodlines" and MICROCHIP!!! ooooooohhhh! I'm going t call them tomorrow and have fun with it. Maybe I could get a new hobby of calling up adds in the paper. I'm bipolar, so I can have a get out for free pass for being crazy sometime lol!
