Soap, Bless your heart..... How kind of you to get a new house for Scarlett and her babies... They are really nice looking puppies... Just get a little kid to pack them around at the sale barn and they will have homes in no time... If you need a kid let me know, #2 would do it and he doesn't know a stranger....

Soaps a softy just like my wife... :wink: We still have 2 of the Border Collie pups left we haven't sold- they are 7 weeks old and have been penned in the kennel, which has a nice dog house... But when this cold wintry weather was predicted Grandma bought one of those dog heating pads too...Covers about 3/4 of the floor of the dog house and is supposed to keep at a constant 102 degrees....
Funny to watch those pups out playing in the snow-- yesterday I had to shovel about a 3 foot deep drift away to get in the kennel...

It's probably the "quality" of them as I have seen 1200 dollar ones around here Lilly. I have also seen 250 dollar ones.. IT is kind of like Labs. They run the gamit of free to a good home to 1000 dollar pups.. I have a hard time spending that type of coin on a dog. We have some Kelpies that I spent way to muc money on but they were trained so it was a bit different than a 7 week old puppy. Heck, when I bought my Anatolion crosses I thought I wondered if I was spending too much but they were still only a couple hundred bucks or so.
NOt a huge dachs fan but I am a big dog person and not a little dog person.

the high end of the mini wieners down here is 5 to 6 hundred.....and I've seen some of those pups, and wasn't impressed at all. I have two.....that are registered. The male cost $300...and the only reason he was bought is because Mr Lilly bought him for me for our 20th weddin anniversary. I bout fell over when he told me how much he cost. My female only cost me $150 (normally females go higher than males)
some of the higher dollar one's I've seen, the puppies look malnurished, and aren't built right. Not sayin all are like that but I've seen enuff of them to know that I won't be buyin from those breeders. I think alot of them think that just because they are papered, or that they have color, that they are worth what they are askin. I'm real picky when it comes to pickin a pup out...of any kind. whether it's a wiener dog, border collie, or a heeler. I wanna spend some time with them and watch them to see how they act, and what their personality is like. Same goes for sendin a puppy home with someone. I wanna know what kinda person is gettin a pup. I won't send one home with just anyone that has the money to pay for it. Also if they have kids, I want the kids present when they are pickin a pup......if the kids don't know how to handle a pup.....then they don't get one.

Yeah, the problem is the Quality is often in the eye of the beholder.. Most show type animals, something just doesn't seem right to me when I see them. I am not saying they are bad or anything but I for one know that I am not going to show so if the pattern on a coat is a bit off or if they are going to be to husky for a breed or something like that I really don't care. I want the critter to be healtthy, intelligent and have a bit of personality. I don't think that is asking too much...
My mom was dog searching last year or year before and she had the choice between "show" and companion quality animals at a couple breeders. I think the price difference was 250-300 dollars + you had to show the show animals. No thanks... 4 of the dogs we have on total cost 150 dollars. That is all 4. Two were free and the other two were shelter dogs that we had to pay for their neutering...
Soap, good luck with those pups... Sometimes those strange mixes work out the best... Guessing they are going to be interestting looking if nothign else.

Such cute puppies Soapweed...you must be proud... 
I just got hubby's dog a new outdoor kennel...all nice and insulated for when she might have to stay outside in the cold..lol Well I trained her to get in it when I tell her to, but she absolutly won't use it on her own. These last few nites and been in the single digits..and she lays on the cold ole cement step at the back door. I've fed her in there...put snacks in there...and she'll go eat and leave. Frustrating!...actually the cats probably would like it if they could figure out how to get the door to work...lol Oh well.

Our oldest son's blue heeler, Ringo, is the proud papa. Scarlett is only four years old. She's a good dog. I hope the pups take after her. The only time she ever chases cattle is when Ringo is here visiting, and he tends to lead her astray in more ways than one. :wink:
