SIL cannot sell puppies - What next?

109 replies

Hi, my SIL's dog got pregnant by accident. They own father and another dog. It is a mixed breed - part german shepherd part husky with other breeds thrown into the mix. There are 9 puppies, 3 have sold. But the other six are not budging. Added complication is that they are now 7 weeks old and I know the window of opportunity to sell will be getting smaller as they get older. They are cute pups but very large.

What can she do? Obviously she cannot keep them....

Your SIL is Bering greedy, not many will pay that price for a mutt!

We ended up with a mutt as our second dog, we paid all of £100 for her and she came fully vaccinated, wormed and a bag of food. We weren't even planning on getting a second dog but when we saw the litter we knew we should home one.

Tell your SIL to phone a rescue centre.

Did she have any experience with the breeds mentioned before she got them to breed?

NatashaGurdin · 10/07/2014 22:46

GSDs and Huskies (both beautiful breeds in the right hands) have enough problems being accepted without backstreet breeders adding to the problems.

A responsible owner would have had both dogs neutered and made sure there was no opportunity for breeding indiscriminately.

Confusedandazed · 10/07/2014 22:47

She only has experience of the parents and the JRT she owns

They are not GSD/husky crosses. You said there were other breeds thrown into the mix. That makes them plain old mongrels, which doesn't sound quite so lucrative, does it?
I hope she isn't misrepresenting them as GSD/husky crosses?

(Btw I have nothing against mongrels, but I do feel less than kindly towards irresponsible breeders who care nothing about their animals)

Branleuse · 10/07/2014 22:48

Alsuskies?

German shushkies?

Confusedandazed · 10/07/2014 22:49

I told her to watch out for her JRT too, as she is not getting him neutered, but I said it would still manage to breed with her female.

id much rather a mongrel than a pure breed any day, but that doesnt mean i would spend pure breed prices either

Branleuse · 10/07/2014 22:50

your sister is an idiot

SecretNutellaFix · 10/07/2014 22:50

The bitch needs spaying so it doesn't happen again.

Confusedandazed · 10/07/2014 22:51

She refuses and says the small dog will not be able to get such a large dog pregnant.

OP posts:
KatieKaye · 10/07/2014 22:51

She's got experience of making money out of the poor dogs too and she obviously likes it.

I just hope the JRT isn't the next candidate in her backyard breeding schemes. God knows what a JRT/GSD cross would look like.

SuburbanRhonda · 10/07/2014 22:51

Your SIL owns three dogs and yet needs to be told by someone else about rescue centres?

Agree with nicki, something doesn't quite ring true about this.

AlpacaLypse · 10/07/2014 22:51

Poor poor puppies.

I wouldn't touch this cross with a bargepole. Not their fault for being born poor creatures but they've got absolutely nothing to recommend them. Too big, too hairy and your SIL is taking the piss something chronic by doing it again. Don't believe the 'dog jumped gate' story for one little minute. She fancied £400 per puppy over again and now she's all upset as not enough fuckwits are falling for the cute fluffball story this time.

SecretNutellaFix · 10/07/2014 22:52

She's a complete fucking moron if she believes that.

KatieKaye · 10/07/2014 22:53

Okay, she's really really stupid if she thinks the JRT won't find a way when there's a bitch in heat.

She shouldn't be allowed animals.hat poor bitch is just going to have litter after litter. I feel sick.

Boudica1990 · 10/07/2014 22:54

Your SIL is crazy!! My friend has a Rottweiler bitch not spayed, a male yorkie got in to his garden when the bitch was in season....the resulting 2 living puppies were the weirdest dogs you have ever seen.

NickiFury · 10/07/2014 22:55

Oh this is complete BS! You had me right up to the JRT nonsense.

AlpacaLypse · 10/07/2014 22:57

Holy shit a JRT too???

We ended up with a JRT/Dalmation cross (it happened behind an Aga while she was lying down) thank god only one puppy in litter, it was the most truly hideous thing you've ever seen, and not even particularly good natured to make up for it. Obviously kept pup, not it's fault who its parents were, had it spayed asap and it continued to waddle and grump for the next 12 years.

McBear · 10/07/2014 22:57

What's a Heinz 57?

I'm just gonna go ahead and ask. Is your SIL an absolute twat?

Second 'accident'
Small dogs don't fuck big dogs
400 quid for a mongrel.

Please don't take offence. I'm sure you're lovely but Jesus she needs a slap

BravePotato · 10/07/2014 22:58

don't believe a word of it.

wind up

NickiFury · 10/07/2014 22:58

Oh I am sure its possible that a JRT can mate with a larger breed, but its the way OP is posting, just getting posting the odd incendiary post but not really engaging.

KatieKaye · 10/07/2014 22:58

57 varieties, aka mongrel. Like the mutts this fuckwit is trying to flog.

CelibacyCakeandElevatorMuzac · 10/07/2014 22:58

*nb - I don't think she should actually get them PTS, her attitude toward these little pups suggest she would get rid to anybody so she may as well have them PTS than have them suffer abuse at the hands of scum.

Branleuse · 10/07/2014 22:59

i think this thread is a wind up.
