Debbie is right....reputable breeders do not readily let go of their dogs on an open registration to anyone with the asking price. |
I had purchased two studs/show prospects, both went way over standard...first was 4 months, he matured to 13 lbs (placed in a pet home) the second 8 weeks old he matured to 14 lbs (placed in a pet home).
