chevy72 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have just seen an ad advertised on Trading post for a lilac BB pup $15000 thought maybe a typo but apparently not.. I could buy a lilac car for that price..lol Is this what the colour is worth and will people actually pay this sort of money?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra777 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) How do you breed a lilac dog More money grubbing puppy farmers - no doubt there will be idiots who will pay these prices for something as insubstantial and foolish as an unacceptable colour Edited June 23, 2013 by Sandra777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 ..and unfortunately, you have just enabled heaps more people to find the ad ;) Lilac ? My eye can't see lilac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The ad actually states the puppies will be desexed before going to their new home. Hardly the actions of a big bad puppy farmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Maybe there was an extra zero on the price by accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Maybe there was an extra zero on the price by accident? Perhaps, but the cynic in me thinks not. There's a heck of lot of 'rare' being pushed in the ad. I thought the BB standard called for a black nose and dark eyes? There's a lot of photos in the ad showing a liver coloured nose and very pale eyes. The colour doesn't look 'lilac' to me either. Hopefully a BB person can clarify.

~Anne~ Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Maybe there was an extra zero on the price by accident? I doubt it. They were pushing the rarity quite heavily. The sire and dam were imports and it seems that they 'lucked out' with the offspring showing some remarkable rare colouring. Who knows if it is legit as far as BB colours go but they are advertising them as desexed, registered, chipped and vaccinated.

WreckitWhippet Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Only a fool would part with their money for such a poor specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 As far BBs go they don't look that correct? Don't know much about them but they look odd and not just their colouring. Are they a recognised colour in the states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Colour aside, the conformation looks all wrong. $15K is pushing it a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The colour looks like the "rare" blue staffys, which just looks grey to me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmybulldog Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I don't know if this is a stupid question but how do they know what colours they are going to get if the puppies aren't even born yet - and I don't think the colours ( Lilac or Black ) are recognised here ( yet ) - If they're not recognised can they still register the pups?

I doubt they are registered breeders with dogs that look like that. But I did wonder How they can predict the colour of the pups.

alpha bet Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Doubt they will find many Australians prepared to pay that sort of money for a dog.... no matter how rare...... unless of course the dog can actually talk or poo gold nuggets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly the actions of a big bad puppy farmer. naw,just making sure they are the only ones you can supply such a rare colour. Wouldn't want anyone else cashing in.
