    second i didnt want to sound mean but thats a lot for a mutt, despite they cuteness.

    third congrats in the new-to-be addition i bet shes lovely you just need to sweat for the money adn off you go, plese post pics

    and fourth i love the name Black Lab, not quite usual but still i like it, maybe i´m just weird
    I know $150 is a lot, but these are healthy, lively dogs, not sick dogs. And second off, I don't really want a purebred, I don't care what the hell the breed is, LOL. And I am sure I can rescue a dog, and I would love to, but my mom doesn't want to get another dog, no way could I get her to go the the shelter to get another dog. This pup just popped up and I am willing to get her. I am aware that rescuing a dog is MUCH better than getting a mutt from an accidental litter, but, well, I don't know.

    I like the name Black Lab, but if she ever got loose {which she most likely wont'} I wouldn't want to go around yelling "Black Lab, Black Lab, Black Lab!" LOL. I don't think it's a dog name. I kind of want a regular name like... Ally or Abby, or Gracie or Savannah. Know what I mean?

    $150 for a litter of accidental mutts?

    Sounds like a BYB to me, for sure!

    But is it really a BYB in all cases? Even for accidental litters, don't people want them taken care of? They need to at least try to break even (even though that's almost impossible even with reputable breeders).

    I wouldn't say $150 is a bad price, IMO. If I was the owner of an accidental litter, I would also want to make sure they go to good homes.

    If someone can't afford $150 for the dog, they can't afford to take care of the dog.

    Well I could understand $150 if the puppies have their shots/fixed/flea&heartworm meds. But if these puppies having nothing I really wouldn't be spending any money on buying them since I would be paying their vet fees.

    Well congrats on getting the puppy anyways, I'm sure you'll give her a good home!
