Are these people real???

I imagine that pup is the same as a dwarf which you can occasionally get in GSDs, I have known of a couple of breeders who have had them, they usually have horrific skin problems and have a pretty short life. To sell a pup like this at such a ridiculous price just because its labelled as a "toy" is disgusting. I wish they gave their affix, I am sure the Boxer Clubs would be interested.
 
Don't think the dwarf gene exists in boxers - just looks like a classic runt and it will end up almost full sized unless it has, & they generally do have, something wrong internally.
Chancers looking for a sucker.
 
Years ago I had litter of Golden Retrievers in which one pup was just like that boxer pup. He was active, suckled well, snuggled up with his giant (normal-sized) littermates. On day eighteen of his life his nose got a bit snuffly, and his eyes started to weep. I had him straight to the vet. None of the other pups appeared to be unwell. Vet sent me home with meds and I was up all night watching him. By morning he had declined considerably. I had the vet put him down. None of the littermates fell ill. When I had the vet open him up, we found a diaphragmatic hernia. He was a little pup that just wasn't meant to be. There are reasons why such pups (or kittens or whatever) come into the world smaller, weaker, unlike their littermates. For a breeder, and I use the word loosely, to profit from such a situation, it should be considered a criminal act. I sometimes wonder if schools should touch on pet ownership at some point in school children's lives. People purchase washing machines, TVs, other appliances, garden equipment with warranties and guarantees, which they have come to expect. But, they go out and buy a puppy, hoping to have it around for 12 to 15 years. The animal becomes a member of the family (one hopes). Most people don't ask questions, don't do the kind of research about their prospective pup, that they would do for the aforementioned appliances. That advert, offering that tiny pup for sale, should raise red flags in prospective buyers' radar. Education is the first port of call for any purchase, especially of a living, breathing entity.
