You will see breeders that are simply breeding for a living sell their dogs at that price and they are not breeding to better the breed, they are simply breeding for greed. Show breeders who are breeding to better the breed do not charge that much for a pup unless it is a Champion etc.
There are many wonderful breeders to choose from.
I would suggest giving her this link
www.ytca.org and search breeders on that site. Also I have seen some wonderful breeders on this site.
tell them to take their time and really research this because they are adding a family member and should want it to come from a responsible loving breeder and not a breeder of greed.
