I guess my point is the more dogs a breeder is the more i want proof that the dogs are not a pay check but a desire to improve the breed. even if the breeding stock is not a pet it deserves proper care and devotion |
You sound like my ideal of a great breeder. I purposely paid a LOT for all of my dogs as I want the breeders to provide the very best care for the puppies I buy, their mothers and their fathers and other litters. I want them to have the incentive to not work out of the home, to be there for the dogs and make it their living. To do this they must ask a lot for the dogs and I am more than okay with that because they are priceless to me and the upfront cost is a small amount of what I will spend on the animal throughout its life.I would never buy a $500 dog because I know there is no way they were properly cared for, or, if they were, it it just not fair to the breeder, imo.
