I dont think it was being rude, just curious since they are so expensive. I think most people cant fathom spending so much on a dog. I know before I got my first yorkie, I thought 400.00 was just crazy when I paid that for my boxer.

Isn't this just a little bit of a double standard?

It's ok to ask 'how much" someone paid for their dog but not "where or whom" they got their dog from? Personally, I find it rude to ask a stranger how much they paid for their dog. But someone who is advertising pups for sale and print their Pedigree on their site shouldn't have any problems answering the question where they got their breeding stock from, especially when it's a well known Kennel name.

And just for the record... my Mia is from PETLAND and my Max is from THIS TIME KENNELS. I don't have a problem saying that because I got my Max directly from the owner/breeder of This Time Kennels.

Oh, and I'd like to add that I paid more for Mia from Petland than I did for Max from This Time Kennels.

I understand and agree with you. When people ask specific questions like that, it give me the impression that maybe there is more to the story than one side is letting on and there may be a good reason behind why the question was asked...that has happened MANY times here before. I don't think anyone here can say they never knew of some of the sneaky, underhanded events that happen in the world of breeding and lines from time to time-- nothing shocks me anymore.

However, and this is just my personal view on the situation, it is clear that there are many people with very strong opinions regarding this specific situation and I feel certain that pushing any suspicions and arguing about it is only going to be counter productive at this point. I have my own personal opinion and can only hope that everyone can use their own judgement to examine things in depth and form their own opinions as well. Clearly, both sides of this scenario are never going to debate this out and come to a common agreement. Ultimately, what you think and believe individually is all that counts anyway, right?

Thanks Misty. My question was answered when she didn't answer it. I was just putting it out there. I figured most, like you, would "get it".

I don't post on these type of threads too often but when I do, it's because I feel strongly about it. I read other people's opinions all day. Most of the time I don't say anything because it's a "take it or leave it" or "been said" type of thing for me. This one, however, hit close to home. I felt compelled to say something. I didn't bash or harass her, I simply asked her a question - on a different thread (ytca) than what this thread was originally about (for sale).

The reason for this last post was for another member. She selected my comment out of all the others to single out. I just found it humorous how asking someone how much your dog cost - is ok... but where did you get your dog - isn't. Mine was about ethics - the other about being nosey. Mine was about information already put out there - in writing - soliciting a sale. The other was someone in a park minding their own business - not soliciting a sale. She commented on both. Just bringing it out to the forefront.

And the reason for bringing it up in this forum is for the newbies!

LOL.......ok you lost me on this one. Sorry you had to spend so much of your precious time trying to dig something up on me. Must have taken you some time but I am sure it was well worth it to you.

LOL.........Nice try

Sorry you're lost. I wasn't try to dig up anything on you. Just making a point. It didn't take any time at all.

LOL.........Nice try yourself!

You all are ridiculous, arguing about stuff like this.
