I check puppy ads on Kijiji a lot.
Puppies are cute and I like them.
Nothing can brighten a day more than being buried under a pile of happy puppies.



It seems, though, that a lot of people are trying to sell made up puppy breeds:


Porkie (Yorkie x pug)
Puggle (Pug x beagle)
Labernese (Lab x Bernese mountain dog)
Jack-Shihtz (Jack Russel Terrier x Shih Tzu)

Terapoo  (Terrier x poodle)
Pompoo (pomeranian x poodle)
Shihpoo (Shih Tzu x poodle)
Morkie (Yorkie x Maltese)

Schnoodle (Schnauzer x poodle)
Pekipug (pug x pekingese)



These are not breeds.
These are what happens when two dogs have unsupervised playtime together.

Giving your accidental batch of puppies cutesy made up names to make them sound like a legitimate breed does not make them any less of a mutt.  And you really shouldn't be charging the $600 you're asking for them.
