Pure bred does not necessarily mean well bred.

As a newer breeder, 3 years ... I feel that My puppies are valuable both financially and
for the way they have been raised.. but I might be the only one who believes it..
I have one puppy available but I can't part with him even though I should.
Am I crazy to think he is worth two thousand minimum.?
But I need to do what is right by finding the right homes for puppies I bring into the world.
This means I might end up keeping my babies longer than I had planned..
If a puppy is very well trained, then he is more valuable.
