I just think some people are trying to say
" you get what you pay for"
I got my Laci from a BYB because I didnt know any better, I love her and wouldnt trade her for he world ,however in hindsight I would research more and go to a better breeder who has had tests done ect.. I got what I paid for..
NO shots, and ear infection no papers
I dont know her history, I dont know of her parents
I paid 950.00, first month vet fee's 500.00 2 times back for the ear infection and 2 different medicines, then kennel cough, more money for scripts and more money for vet appts.. so I got what I paid for, for a few hundred more I could have gotten a dog from a reputable breeder, I love her anyways but in the long run it probally will and has cost me more money!!!!
