If she had papers I wouldnt think her price too high even though she is 3 years old as in this case you do know what you are getting. Not sure I would pay that much without the papers though. However, how many of us has said they thought the price they paid was high but wouldnt take 10 times that for him/her now? I know that is how I feel about mine. I love them all but we do have those that are a little extra special for whatever reason. Good luck to you whatever you decide to do.
