 Price is high, but...
Sounds high compared to what the rest of us get (settle for, is more like it). Maybe she's trying to get paid a little bit for her efforts. We work our hearts out trying to "break even" when we really should be pricing our puppies to have a little profit to show for the effort.
I'm assuming this is a well bred puppy going on a spay/neuter contract and limited AKC registration, and this is what I would consider a "fair" price that gives the breeder a modest profit. This is a heck of a lot of work to be doing just to break even. It's a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week job with no vacations, folks.
I LOVE the page on her web site that describes her breeding practices and beliefs. |
