$8,500 is outrages; even for a show dog, from well known reputable exhibitor/breeders.

Yes, there are uneducated people that will pay that price. However, in todays economy, I'm not so sure. Because of the economy, reputable breeders have even cut back their breeding, even though in the past they only bred 1 or 2 litters a year.

Just out of curiosity, how much is the approximate maximum price that someone who is purchasing to show would pay, within reason? I know that prices are all over the map, but I'm just curious because I have no knowledge on what the average show dog goes for.
