I have a feeling my mom's new chin may have come from a back yard breeder. The ad on craigslist said the kit my mom got was available for $120, but this past weekend only. The ad said he needed to go ASAP. The owner had moved into a new apartment that did not allow pets. We met the seller at their parent's house. They had A ferret nation cage split in half. They had two litters of kits. A mother and her two kits on the top, and a mother, father, and two kits on the bottom. I'm guessing the female on the bottom was probably pregnant again. The cage was covered in hardware cloth.
The cages were spotless, and the chins seemed to be very well taken care of. The cages had no toys, shelves, or hay. One cage did have a hut in it. My mom's kit, Jett, didn't seem to know what wood chews, or hay was. I wonder if he had ever had it before?
I had seen previous post from this person " rehoming" their kits for $175. They had a pink-white, two ebony and a beige. I believe the parents of the kits were all from breeders. I saw a recent post (within the past day or two) asking for an offer for the remaining kit. They said unreasonable offers would be ignored.
We talked about my girl, Mira, and her kits. I mentioned adopting both kits out for $80. They thought I meant $80 each. I couldn't imagine adopting out two kits for much more than that. I'm not a breeder, and the kits had an unknown background.
Does getting a chin from a breeder make them breeding worthy by some people's standards?
