$1,500 for a mutt?

I just got a Queensland heeler puppy today for $100... Working dogs, purebred, discounted because the puppies have only gotten their first shots and nothing else [yet, appointments are being made asap]. I dunno about a bernie-doodle or w/e.. Do not pay that much though for one! Poodles aren't exactly farm dogs but I guess any dog can be good with proper training. Just don't buy from this backyard breeder, she or he will say anything to make it sound fancy-shmancy for the sake of making a sale. They should very well know about the issue with homeless dogs already :s any legit breeder wouldn't do that. My opinion is don't fall for it. It's just as bad as these maltipoo puppies I see in CL going for $800 or more, like what the hell?
 
Our standard poodle would be a wonderful farm dog. He is respectful of our chickens. His coat would be a nightmare! I keep him in tons of coat and the thought of de- burring him would never happen. But a standard in a short clip with the Euro ears would make grooming do able. We also show aussies and he was raised with good herding manners .The problem is that now days people dont want to train! Their children are wild with no boundries and their pets fair no better
 
It appears that a lot of rescues, SPCA's, etc. require that the puppy/dog you adopt needs to an inside dog. However, that is not an option if you want the dog for "guarding/watching" the farm. After a dog has been in the barn with you, you would not even want to have the "barny" dog in the house. If you gave a bath so it could come in, you could possibly be giving one, two three or more baths a day. There is enough to do on a farm without giving multiple dog baths a day. Often they want the dogs to be adopted close by, so if you are not in the city or near them your hands are tied so to speak. I am not against rescue as we are looking at acquiring a puppy in the spring. I have looked at some needing rescue but it appears we could run into being ineligible to "rescue" because of the afore mentioned requirements.

It's okay I've run into this problem too. Unfair in my opinion. I also have dogs for adoption and I was pretty steamed when I got an inquiry about them.. She wasn't serious about getting them. Seemed like she wanted the "perfect" dog and then jumped to conclusions when I told her the dogs were outside dogs/not potty trained.
I also was interested in adopting from Farm Sanctuary but they require the adopter to be at least vegetarian and be involved with rescue groups or activist groups. Sheesh! I'll just buy a pig or a goat from a swap meet!
 
Bernese Mt. Dog and Poodle mix makes for a loving, loyal and intelligent pet. They are healthy and hearty dogs. Great with kids and other dogs. You get the personality of the Bernese without the health problems and the shedding. PD Bernedoodles have been breeding dogs for over 30 yrs and Bernedoodles for the last 7 yrs.
