Hmmm Well i can see both sides of this one.
I understand how a breeder may want to talk with an applicant .
I also can see how a purchaser might not wish to call if the pup was out of price range and then have to feel embarrassed telling the breeder it was too much money for them.
I myself had skipped most of the breeders without prices posted when I was looking but did call or email a few without prices... and to tell the truth..... everyone I called without prices listed was a higher price range and I had to feel STUPID saying it was too much. It always made me feel like a loser even though I can provide a good home and pay a medium price. I usually just told them thank you and they had lovely pups and politely hung up.....but I did surely feel DUMB each time
