As for selling the pups for $500, cheeky but some say it is better to charge a decent amount to eliminate some unsuitable owners.
I wonder how much Campbell's owners paid for him. If they got him from a shelter, I bet it wasn't $500 and I don't think anyone could argue they were an amazing home for him. *sigh*....suckage.

I mean if you choose to have intact dogs do you not take extra care??
These folks knew the female was intact. I suspect they were the (below)average types who think "oh, he's such a nice dog, and she's so pretty, we should leave them intact so we can breed them one day".... and they never plan for it, it just happens like "doG's will" and they make a profit. I have idiotic HS friends who posted their Boxer puppies on facebook, but I can excuse their stupidity... and they're not charging $500. Just seems to be a slew of Backyard Boxer Breeders in my circle and it's pissing me off. Boxers don't have small litters, so that means another 8-10 unplanned puppies for each one of these stupid owners who SHOULD know better.
Thanks for letting me vent. I've been in rescue so long that I know this is but a drop in the ocean, I'm just annoyed. These folks should be ashamed of their mistake, not trying to profit by it!
