I hate it, when people ask me how much I paid for my pups...However, at my age, I can tell you it is usually the "ignorant" people, who ask, and, unfortunately, there is no cure for ignorance...I love the "priceless" answer, and will use that from now on...Being such an open and honest person, I usually tell them the truth, and then regret it afterward, wondering if they might, possibly, be thinking of stealing them? Anyway, iatyq...a big ol' YES, it is rude...I didn't even ask a good friend of mine how much she paid for her pup...I figured she'd tell me, if she wanted me to know, and one day, she did...
