I realize you bought her from a breeder, but I don't think the fee was wrong. In rescues dogs that are saved are taken to the vet right away and health issues dealt with. There is a cost involved with this and so they need to recoup costs as well. And like what was said before it does weed out the "wrong kind of people". Congratulations on you new baby and welcome to YT. Wonderful people here and alot of knowledge.
