[QUOTE=smyrfette;3442276]I agree 300 is low unless you are buying an older dog and even then some charge more.

I was born in etobicoke twp

In a heart beat I'd take on a puppy from someone who put that much care into bettering the breed.

I remember back 8 years ago when my sister was wanting a maltese in canada. I interviewed the breeders for her and finally found hers my brother in law was not so fond of my find of a $1200 dog.

now he'd pay a million for him..lol

He now understands why I pretty much fired a few before question 3 and then finding his wonderful breeder.

She was always there for them through any little panic.[/QUOTE]

And that is one caveat of the concerned and caring breeder. They willing share and encourage their puppy owners to come to them with every little or big problem. They should be a font of knowledge, and guidance to their owners.

This kind of "aftercare" is priceless.
