actually that price is pretty common....... i had trouble finding anything below 800 ...... when i found toby for 600 i jumped on it... AND he gave me 100 off coz toby is gunna be a BIG boy ( about 7-8 lbs full grown)... sooooooo......... i got a good deal and only paid 500, but hes not papered, he is strictly PET QUALITY, if that is all you are looking for, usually breeders lower their prices when they know you just want a pet, from what i understand..... then again ive only had toby 2 days......
