Mugged For Pugs

[smurfchops]

Sorry cant copy and paste but a woman in Wales advertised her gorgeous pug puppies for sale, when someone came around and tried to steal them, suddenly she called them her babies... Would you sell your babies for £1,500 each? Poor puppies.

[Old_Geezer]

No, I'd not get £1.5k for them.

Errmm, can you repeat that without it reading like it has been through Google translate?

[marval]

Yes I read that in The Sun, two managed to escape and hide behind the sofa. They attacked the owner, and took one away, I hope they catch the b@rst@rds. That poor pup must be really frightened, taken away from it's home and siblings.

[smurfchops]

I think they got it back. Poor little things, how can people trade in defenceless little puppies. She would have parted with her so called babies if she saw a wad of notes.

of course she would, she had advertised them for sale!

it's dreadful to say but I always think any puppies for sale in Wales must be from puppy farms (yes I know it's not always true). Dealing in puppies and kittens brings out the worst in people. I paid £120 for a bog standard kitten last year. people do it for money these days. Once upon a time you couldn't give kittens away.

Prudie,why did you pay £120...when there are loads to be rescued?

Pug puppies seem to go for anything from £750-1,000.

Yes...I'm sure a lot of breeders ,even though they are making money,may refer to the puppies as their babies.

[Prudie]

I called all the local cat charities, they didn't have any. Finally found what I wanted at a resue centre, went to see her and arranged the pick up date. Then day before they rang me with some lame excuse and fobbed me off. It's put me off.

I'd never breed pups in the first place, far too many in dog/cat charities throughout the country in dire need of homes without adding to it ! Her 'babies' my foot ......
