Ah, I understand your "issue" that your mom has now...LOL... Just don't tell her how much it was. (Yes, I am now advocating that someone lie to their mother.
) Kidding...
I realize that good owners have to put up with unethical, bad breeders. That is something we ALL have to put up with that I wish we didn't have to worry about and I realize how hard it makes it to try to find a reputable breeder that can be trusted. If that is the concern rather than simply the desire to pay a lower price, then it seems like the focus should be not on the price being asked, but finding a good breeder and a quality dog.
I guess when you put it in simpler terms, "I'm only going to pay XYZ because there are bad breeders out there" just doesn't make sense.
