Re: Thai black pup for trade
Thank you for the help, but he does not have any of those available until next year. Good idea though as he has a ton of varieties. I have been messaging back and forth a few times with him; cool guy.

Re: Thai black pup for trade
Looks like the larger pup is spoken for, but I will have 2 more good sized pups available soon. One I have designated as a reward for an upcoming contest, so stay tuned!
