Just looking for some opinions that are not from people I know as I have had a lot of different views.
Dh and I have been looking for a puppy that would suit our family (2 DS's - 5 & 3) since our old dog sadly passed away 5 years ago, we have waited until the children are a bit older.
Have come across some miniature poodle x bichons (poochons?). Bought up around young children, cats, other dogs etc. They are 12 weeks currently (have been for sale since 2 weeks old) but they are still advertising them for full price of £1200.
Now I know prices of puppies have gone up since lockdown but I was wondering if I was being cheeky by trying to knock him down in price? I have seen younger ones for cheaper but are quite far from our home.
I haven't messaged yet as wanted to get opinions whether: A, it's cheeky and not the done thing now to haggle and B, whether anybody has experience with these types of dogs.
I am aware of grooming, night waking training etc as weve owned plenty of dogs in the past rescue and bought, admittedly only larger dogs though and this will be our first smaller dog.
Any opinions/advice is appreciated.
