Some are priced differently because a few reasons. 1. different locations different prices. 2. size, age and who they are registered with. 3. some people advertize them as teacups which there is no such thing. 4. some have champion bloodlines, champion sired etc. Mainly I have found that online they are alot higher than what you will find in the local paper. Things sold ont he internet have jacked up prices for reason beyong my knowledge.
I paid 800 for Apollo and 1000.00 for Paris. THe woman I bought them from only owned the mother and father and wasnt a big breeder. THis was her first litter but someone told her that they go for thousands and thousands online so she decided she had something worth some money AND because she felt that if someone paid a good amount for a dog they wouldnt drop it at a shelter or abuse it etc.
I am asking 500 for Apollo only because I think people who do not have a thousand dollers should be able to experience the breed. I wont GIVE him away because people who want something for free usually do not generally take the best care of things If you cant afford to pay SOMETHING then how can you pay for vet care, food, toys, bills etc that comes with dog ownership??
I had a lady ask for a payment plan and then after I said YES I will work with you got mad and said she couldnt afford to pay anything. If you are struggling month to month and have children and cant afford cost of living you dont need to bring a dog into the mix. They cost money to care for.
Well some of you got off pretty well and some of you paid more than me. Doesnt make me seem so silly for spending 1800 to buy 2 dogs. My husband thought I was coo coo lol
