I also wanted to add that I know of several VERY reputable breeders who are having problems placing pups in pet homes with the economy downturn because people have the misconception that reputable breeders being out of their price range.
Like it has been said over and over again, for a reputable breeder it is not about the money--it is about making sure that the dogs they produce are loved, cherished and taken care of for the entirety of their lives. |
