Wow, long thread!!! I'm just throwing my 2cents in...
Original poster has got some nerve going on about how people should donate to a rescue rather than paying a "high price" for a pup - when this person donated not once, but twice to the puppy mill industry.
Then just to blow it of with "by-gones...", anyway...
I appreciate all the love, time, and money that breeders put forth to produce the best babies for us. They deserve sooo much more for all their work, so how could one complain about a price? If you ask me how much my pups are worth I'd tell you in a second they are
priceless.
If the issue is feeling bad for those who can't afford something - well that's pretty naive. I'd love a Mercedes or an Aston Martin but I can't afford it. Do I go around complaining "why do these companies charge so much?? they need to slash the price so everyone can afford it"?? That's ridiculous.
That's all
