I don't think that alot of your breeders are hurt by this or that they care. Many are not in a 'competition' to sell--I guess maybe if you are counting on profiting off puppy sales then it would be detrimental to business... Many breeders have a waiting list for pup before they even breed and don't advertise at all. (I would bet many of these are the people who probably DO enforce restricting the breeding rights of their pups too!) Just my .02 on that. |
It has my curiosity up, I mean I know people do a lot of research on the inet,and I know that when you find a breeder they may have a web page as well. It makes me wonder how many people would rather pay less on the inet then pay more at a breeder right there near them? Leo was purchased from a breeder two hours away. But I know a lot of others that have had their puppies shipped to them.
What is your preferred method? Do you ship your puppies at all? Or do you only sell to those that will drive up to get them? Many of the breeders I talked to when getting Scott's lab (had to be a good dog as it is his service dog) said they ship puppies a lot via plane!
