Gracie is a BYB baby....got her from a petstore...she is a mix...and she is perfectly healthy...well trained....very smart...and very much loved...as I said lmonths ago......I bought her at a pet store...on consignment...for $500...WAY before I knew a single thing about BYBers...before her, I had a schnauzer for 16 years that was also from a BYB...well behaved, smart as a whip, very healthy...lived to be 16 years old... I hate the fact that there are people who make a living selling animals...and I contributed to this myself..because of not being well informed....BUT I would not want to miss one single day of all those 16 years with Mercedes and I sure wouldn't want to NOT have Gracie now..I would pay those big bucks all over again to have her.
and that is all I have to say about it~
