Boxer Puppies
My son, Ron, and his wife split up a few months ago after a year of marriage. She took the two cats and stated she would let my son keep his boxer bulldog, Lucy, as long as she got a puppy. She demanded all the furniture, dishes, bedding, etc…She left him with nothing except a bench. Ron agreed to breed Lucy and give his wife a puppy as long as he could keep his dog without a fight. They were living with us so this involved the entire family in dealing with her threats to involve the police if she didn’t get her way.
Ron took Lucy to a breeder several counties away. The breeder stated that she would not take the $300.00 breeding fee in exchange for a white boxer which is rare in our neck of the woods.
Now the puppies are five weeks old and the wife has decided she wants half the money for the puppies instead of taking a puppy. Ron is selling the puppies for $300.00 each so in my opinion the wife is entitled to $300.00 minus her share of the Vet bills.
Ron posted an ad on Craig’s list for the puppies. As some of you know you can not list a price on Craig’s list so he listed our phone number. Someone is angry at the price of the puppies and flag’s each ad Ron has placed as well as one I placed. I know that $300.00 seems like a lot of money but when you consider the Vet bills, Calcium tablets, Vitamins, Puppy Chow, tail docking, dew claw removal, pee pads, baby wipes, wormed, shots, etc… the price is fair. The father is registered but the mother is not so that is an issue for one person. If the Mother was registered too the price for the puppies would be even higher. Some people just want something for nothing.
