1- Do you believe you should pay the same for a limited registration dog as you would for full registration? I think if you are purchasing the pet and they are "fixed" then they should be less then if you were to get one and be able to breed and make profit.
2-Do you think you should pay the same price for a dog with Champion backgrounds as you would for one without? No I do not, I think it's like anything else we purchase. If you are buying name brand clothing you will pay more then you would pay for the "plain" clothing.
3- What about pet quality vs show quality? Does a dog alway warrant a high price to get the best buyer? My personal opinion is sometimes a person who can only pay 500.00 is a better dog owner than the one who just paid you 2500.00. I agree with you. I think you do not have to have money or spend tons of money to be a good pet parent. Just as you do not have to be wealthy to be a good parent to your children. I often think a lot of people pay the higher amount just as they would for a flashy car or a huge ring, for others to say "wow you paid THAT much for your dog" and I"m not saying ALL that paid higher prices do this.. but I do know in my 31 yrs I've learned a lot about people and those that need to flash the money they have (or the credit they rack up lol) are empty on the inside.
