I paid 2500 for Pixie who was champion sired. She was also 13 months old and too small for breeding or showing. She was spayed and up to date on shots. Same breeder i paid 1000 for Dixie (RIP) who unfortunately had a congenital kidney disease the breeder had no idea about. Dixie's mother was the champion I believe. Breeder wanted her to go to me due to her size. Roxie was given to me by breeder after Dixie passed but was not champion sired. I knew that before I took her so even though it wasn't an equal "replacement" for Dixie I loved her little face! To me cost is secondary, breeder reputation, health and look is more important. |
