I dont think it was being rude, just curious since they are so expensive. I think most people cant fathom spending so much on a dog. I know before I got my first yorkie, I thought 400.00 was just crazy when I paid that for my boxer.

Isn't this just a little bit of a double standard?


It's ok to ask 'how much" someone paid for their dog but not "where or whom" they got their dog from? Personally, I find it rude to ask a stranger how much they paid for their dog. But someone who is advertising pups for sale and print their Pedigree on their site shouldn't have any problems answering the question where they got their breeding stock from, especially when it's a well known Kennel name.

And just for the record... my Mia is from PETLAND and my Max is from THIS TIME KENNELS. I don't have a problem saying that because I got my Max directly from the owner/breeder of This Time Kennels.


Oh, and I'd like to add that I paid more for Mia from Petland than I did for Max from This Time Kennels.
