James Patton said his cellphone, at the number listed in the ad, has been ringing every five minutes since the CD was released, and not always by prospective dog owners. Sometimes, he said, young fans call, "trying to talk to my brother or something like that."
Big Boi said Pitfall sold seven dogs in the week after the CD's release, more than double the company's average weekly tally. Puppies from the eight-year-old breeding company sell for $1,200 to $2,500.

The Atlanta duo moved more than 509,000 copies of their double album, Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below, according to SoundScan, to best the closest competition, Dave Matthews' Some Devil, by 40,000 copies.
