I'm surprised that your friend couldn't explain the difference to you? 
Not that you shouldn't ask... just weird that you wouldn't ask a "friend".
[quote=veggienut;2923729]Apparently, this is HOT TOPIC. I was just asking a question and I appreciate all the info. Many people, many views, very informative of everyone's side. Also, one should consider their pocketbooks on making a choice of a pet in their life also.
I do know if you don't get a AKC pet, the cost are lower. AKC lines can run $5,000 and more. Did you all know that one~?[/QUOTE]
Yes, AKC lines "could" run $5000.00 if you were buying a Championed breeding bitch/dog from CH lines... but that's not usually the case because "ususally" people co-own a bitch/dog being shown to their Championship. Quote:

I was shocked that a dog can cost that much money. I wouldn't pay that much, unless it had tires on it. |
Just curious... why your friend isn't providing you with more information. And maybe you wouldn't mind sharing with us the name of the line? What shows does she attend? How many dogs has she Championed? I'm not questioning that she hasn't... just wondering - we might know of her
