I think some people expect too much from breeders. They expect the breeder to do all the testing and etc and then sell them a puppy for 400-500 dollars. While no one want s to sell a sick puppy and certainly no one wants to buy one, some of the demands a few people are placing on breeders these days is ridiculous. So, again, go with your gut. You are the only one that can make that choice. P.S. mine don't leave until twelve weeks so I don't condone leaving at six or seven weeks but in some regions they do and are fine.

I expect quite a bit from a breeder...however, I also do NOT expect to only spend 400-500 either.
