price

[lisajack]

Does anyone know the going price for a Chihuahua x Jack Russell x Yorkshire terrier puppy?

[gravthechav]

yes you7r freedom. please dont get this poor dog you obviously dont have the time for it.

Come on mob lets get her!

[lisajack]

Not a helpful answer at all. I want to establish whether the puppy is a mongrel and therefore whether the price of �350 is reasonable. If you are unable to answer with genuine canine knowledge, please do not respond.

[gravthechav]

obviously another TRoll at work here troops. I need some back up ladies (and TS Alphie) come on!

sorry lisajack, I'm not really sure.

could you contact local breeders if it is not classed as a mongrel? maybe a good old google search may help?

to me, �350 seems expensive but if its not classed as a mongrel then its fair enough.

[Noweia]

It's a mongrel. Check out your local animal shelter and pick something that looks similar.

[alfieblue]

I'm not sure either lisa - MiniN's answer sounds reasonable. Good luck with your findings.

Wee note to grav: you and peewee should really learn to spell my name correctly!! What a coincidence!!! You are the only people on the site who spell it wrongly!

Mongrel!!!!!! Do not pay ���'s for something you can get from a rescue home for a lot less. The clue is in the question - x x
means cross i.e. a Chihuahua CROSSED with a Jack Russell CROSSED with a Yorkshire Terrier therefore at least three different breeds in its make up, so how will you know what it is going to turn out like, its size, coat, temperament? Whoever is selling these is on a good thing with people falling for fancy designer names.

Get a Bulldog crossed with a Shih Tzu and you will have ********!

Lisa - go to an animal shelter and talk to them. They will give you exc advice.

[alfieblue]

Perhaps there is a wee pup out there somewhere waiting for you. :o)

�350 is a ridiculous price. Breeding three different breeds together doesn't make anything else than a mongrel. Neither, strictly, does breeding two together. A pedigree dog is one that breeds true for generations, so the pups are always distinctively the same, as are the adults.It is true that most, if not all, of our pedigree dogs are the result of mixing breeds a very long time ago but all of them mated with another of the same breed now produce offspring which are like the parents and like all of that breed,not any of the breeds used originally.
You are being caught by someone trying to cash in on the fashion for 'designer breeds', like the cockerpoo and labradoodle.These are a recent cross of two pedigree breeds, but even they don't breed true ,each litter of each bitch having the characteristics of those breeds in different amounts.
Please go to a dog shelter, as suggested, and choose something you like.

[gravthechav]

comeon everyone I suggest we ignore this Troll. Its a blatent wind up. I suggest you get a life Lisa

I have got a lovely Border Collie X Fox Terrier, in other words a mongrel just as the puppy you are talking about is, I paid �60 for my dog, I have had many mongrel dogs, all rescues and have never paid more than �100 so if you are willing to pay �350 for a mongrel puppy please go to your local rescue centre and give them the money and give a good home to an unwanted dog, please don't encourage Back yard breeders.

This rescue only charges 140 pounds (and they have puppies - some so called designer breeds too!).

At least you know your money will be going to help other dogs and not in the breeders pocket!

Oh, and don't think the pups will be necessarily healthy - they can suffer from all the problems that the parents breeds have (possibly more so as the parents were very possibly turned down for KC registration for breeding).
