Hehe, sorry. It's just that right after that Bosco fiasco (hey that rhymes!!!)...

I'm too shy to drill my family members. That, plus, they think I've gone insane so they tune me out whenever I talk about puppy mills and responsible breeding. In an attempt to cope with their short attention spans, I shortened my lecture to advocating adoption only. And if the person wants to know more, I go deeper into the subject. It worked pretty well. My immediate family only considers adoption now. After all, Giselle came from fab racing bloodlines and is genetically healthier than BYB Lucky. And guess who costed less? Giselle! Man, I digress too much LOL!

Good luck with the aunt She obviously knows you're the "dog person" of the family, and I hope she adopts her perfect mutt (rather than forking out 1000$). That link above is greyt! It has quotes from a few parent clubs and one from the Peke club that specifically bans cross breeding. Maybe that'll peak her interest.
