Hi Guys I am a new member and saw this post and thought it was very interesting. I moved up to TN from Fl. I have a Female AKC with Championships in her 1st 3 lines. on both sides Sir and Dam. When I was in Florida I was getting $ 1,000.00 Male and $ 1,500.00 Female BUT Here in TN most of the people dont care about papers at all. I have seen them in the paper here for $ 350.00 to $ 600.00! and they dont care if the puppy is CKC or AKC????? It makes it very hard to sell a quality puppy for what it is worth. Most of my puppies go back to Florida. I think you really need to be careful sometimes as to how low of a price you make the puppies. If people arent willing to pay for a quality pet, How do you know if they are good for your puppy? So I agree you need to go with the area, But I also agree that you need to not make the price so low that just anyone can buy them? I dont believe in shipping my puppies, so If I get someone in Florida that wants my puppies and I can sell at least 2, I drive them to Florida, That way I see who is getting my babies and it gives my the chance to visit family. ( Just my opinion) |
