And it does not come for $250.00 either! And, God forbid, something DOES malfunction, an ethical breeder will stand with you and behind her baby...she loves that baby even MORE than you do, and it is never far from her thoughts and heart, even years down the road. |
Very well said! That puppy which is Perfect for you! I will say categorically that any purebred puppy which is bred from a long line of health tested and proven champions can not be had for $200 or $300 or $400 or $500 dollars. Of course very rarely there are catastrophic circumstances that can occur, and these puppies must be placed quickly. How-ever in my experience those happenings are usually handled expedituously by the breeder's support network.
And yet again, one doesn't go to a show breeder to buy a
"pet" because t
hey want a show dog. They come to us, for a number of important reasons. The care, attention, passion, and dedication of the breeder, and the all around quality of the dogs we produce. They place a premium on health, temperament and structure, and value the support they will be given over the lifetime of a pup we place with a vetted owner.
