What are the personalities of the parent dogs? there are so many aspects to dog purchasing and you have to look at an inspect each of those.
With me, I want my pups to be vet checked and have never bought a pup that wasn't. I had my pups vet checked even twice to make sure that they were healthy enough to leave my home. There's nothing wrong with it, sure it cut into the money that I would have gotten, but I would rather the future owner be happy with their pup then to sell them something they would have to spend thousands trying to get well.

Of Course...all of your points are good but if you compare the facilities and care of those who sell $500 pups to those who sell $1200 pups
I have seen a huge difference and it just makes sense that the nicer, cleaner facility has spent more money on the care of the babies and they have to ask more so as not to lose money.
What does it cost you to raise an average pup and provide it with the very best care? Taking into account his litter mates and his mother and father cuz some may have more health issues, etc.
