for my next dog i'm going a totally different route and most likely will adopt my next dog from a shelter and rescue and rehabilitate it.
thanks again for the wisdom Nancy. |
Yes, you are right, I know of breeders here who say they can only charge $350.00 if they sell locally, but if they sell over the Internet; they can sell for much much more. They shouldn't be able to charge as much as an experienced qualified breeder, just because they've found a wider audience, but they do.
