Brandy is AKC reg and was only $500. But the breeder was horrible as some of you remember from the Illinois Rescue thread.
I really believe you get what you pay for. Many people who are paying more from a GOOD breeder are paying for the tests and the GUARANTEE. Brandy didn't have any guarantee so if something comes up I'm screwed. I have no idea what her background is like which is kind of scary. The reason I got Brandy was to rescue her from the bad place she was. They were giving her away at only 5 weeks and she had never been to a vet, of course she hadn't been wormed or no shots. The lady didn't care about who her dogs went to, only the $$. Thank god eesnor went over there and saved the rest, kept them together and gave them vet care. Bottom line, if there is a guarantee, that's worth the extra money in my eyes. |
