If you personally, don't want to........that is fine. Your personal choice Just be cautious of anyone trying selling you a happy tune.

I think you are wrong there. I would offer less, and have offered less, and their medical care would not be an issue. If yours are all sold ahead, then of course you would not take less, but not everyone's are sold ahead, and they might welcome an offer. It has nothing to do with value or integrity or ability to pay. It's just good business. JMO | |

Since I breed for myself, for that next Champion and only breed on a minimal basis, 1 maybe 2 litters a year, ....placing those puppies I don't keep in preapproved homes that are on a waiting list.......it is a moot point for me. It's very difficult to get a puppy from me, as my vet tells people that he's referring to me, she's tuff, there is probably a better chance of finding a cure for cancer than getting a puppy from her..... I don't breed to sell puppies, it's not what I'm about. Yes, I do view it as questioning my integrity and the value on my pups. And I don't view this as a business.

I foud this interesting though......"It's just good business". Makes sense to me, fortunately not everyone does this for a living-nor they are looking to get rich off of breeding. Lat I checked animals were living creatures. Thank goodness

I would say if it is someone advertising in the paper or on a bulletin board, sure ask to see if they would consider a little less, if you want. But if this is someone you had to get referred to, someone who is doing all the right things in their breeding program, someone that has screened you, has a waiting list -- then no -- just pay what they are asking and thank your lucky stars you found a responsible professional breeder! JMHO BTW -- for the breeders who say "yes, make an offer" -- I would reconsider. I would not necessarily be offended by offers, because few realize the expense and dedication that goes into breeding these little ones. But, coming down a hundred or two on a puppy sends a bad message. You have just demeaned the value of the puppy and made him little more than garage sale merchandise. $100 of $200 is really not going to make or break a deal. Most all of the people that are looking, already knew the price and STILL came to look. If you have a good breeding program, come up with a fair price and stick to it. Again, JMHO.
