Latest con on e pupz - Collie x GSD x FOX!!!

http://www.epupz.co.uk/clas/viewdetails.asp?vi ew=125011

For those thinking this is a good idea - it is not possible to mate a fox (British red fox) with a dog.

Just shows how you should not believe everything you read, also illustrates how believable people can be when they tell you about their litter of pups.

If you are buying any pup, check, check and double check all the paperwork and health test papers, make sure that the paperwork is genuine and for real. (If necessary telephone the Kennel Club).

Buyer beware!!

Hey kita, am sure people will appreciate the warning. Looks like the "seller" has been banned and blacklisted, from what the page says. Too right!

This is the wording in the body of the advert (the link still works for me?) it is very believable and convincing:

The PUPPIES being sold are Shemson collies, which is a rare type of collie that has a small amount of German shepherd, and fox in the bloodline. The mother (Adorable or Dory for short) is a full border collie from an original family of farm collies, she carries a tiny bit of fox in her bloodline because her great grandfather was half fox. She has some very foxy personality traits. The father (Shem) who carries the original Shemson line is mostly collie but carries German shepherd in his bloodline. He is amazing looking and is often compared to a wolf. Both have fantastic temperaments and are incredibly friendly and affectionate. They are incomparably loyal, and would make fantastic family pets. Though due to the extreme amounts of focus and energy that the parents have I would insist that they go to very energetic families preferably those with younger kids eg cyclists, runners, hikers, and other sports enthusiasts. Due to this high amount of energy and focus the puppies would also make perfect working sheepdogs. Preferably I would like owners who have previously owned collies or at least know about them. This is not completely necessary. Also both the stud's owner and I would like to keep track of the line because it is so rare, so therefore you would be entering into a family of dog owner's. Again this is not necessary but we would like to keep track of the puppies to know how they are getting on and how the shemson line develops. All pups will come de flead and with a selection of photographs if you would like. I'm a first time breeder of this bloodline, but have bred full border collies three times before. Thankyou very much for looking, and get in touch if your interested. ( Below is a photograph of mother Dory, it seems you can only place one photo on the advert so if you want pictures of each puppy and the father please email me

Hope it works for gelda now....

Let's hope this person doesn't set up another website to sell animals - a bit like when some double glazing companies do!

Link opened OK for me, it just showed text at the top informing me that the seller was blacklisted. Hope you can open it now gelda.

Caveat Emptor - let the buyer beware! If anyone is mug enough to pay that sort of money for a mongrel it serves them right.

You cannot create a new breed just by mating two animals together and naming it - breeds have been created over many years with proper plans made and records kept.
This is in the same league as many of the other so called 'designer' breeds - basically mongrels.

Got it now thanks

It's bizarre, labradoodles, sprockadors etc are fetching ridicualous money. If people want a mongrel they should go to the welfare centres and give a needy dog a home.
It's just another fashion fad and hopefully it will die out before loads end up abandoned
