The reality is that untill any female has her pups we can all make scenarios as what could be the case, so to me its just a case of untill the pups hit the ground its all speculation as to what is value for money, and i dont think im being hard on limey saying that i feel that his stud fee alone without even adding the extra costs to a buyer is just way over the top for his dogs achievments as yet.
