But as someone else said, I'd pay just about anything I could afford for the baby that melted my heart  |
Oh My, I just moved here from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex a month ago. Breeder/Exhibitors in that area are not as high as what you paid. In particular a breeder whose impeccable lines have been around for 40 decades and whose breeding I was lucky enough to obtain to begin showing and begin my program.
And my girls and boys are priced the same. I feel that if you are obtaining a puppy from me on a limited registration/no breeding rights why should the price be different. And if you are lucky enough to obtain a show dog from a dog can stud more puppies than a female can whelp.
