Hi everybody,
am in this case strictly. We (webmasters) hear very often from some people the critique about puppies prices.
Please, dont forget, that its absolutely freedom of breeder, which prices setting. When have no problems and selling the puppies for this prices, then is everything OK. Most problematic is the other extreme, when "breeder" selling the puppy for very very low prices or give free of charge (yes, such cases we just know). Its a signal, that something is not OK. But high price, I mean, is OK.
I would like to quote one czech breeder. When call him somebody, who interested about his puppy and hear the price, then answer, that its too high, because he get a offer from other breeder and price was lower. Reaction of breeder was absolutelly excellent :
"Why you then call me ? You must call to the other breeder. I valuate my puppies so high. If for the other breeder have own puppies low value, its his privat problem.".

Howg

PS : And little notice on the end. Nobody, who dont breeding ever, knows the costs with it. Before the critique try to counting shortly all possible costs with not puppies only but e.g. announcement, shows and training (its a best announcement) etc. Really seriously breeder, who care 100% about own dogs cant never makes a profit by breeding.
