There are plenty of scumbags out there with more money then good sense, people who don't put in honest work for their money yet watch it come in hand over fist. These people don't have a true appreciation of the value of a dollar and aren't willing to get off their ass and scoop shit. There are also many honest people with families that bust their ass 40+ hours a week to provide for their household and their charges that may not have the extra 1000 it would take to bring a new one to the yard. My point is if you are selling to the general public the price tag you put on the pup will not be the deciding factor in the quality of hands it lands in. When I do a breeding I will do it because I honestly feel I am doing my best to improve the quality of the line of dogs I'm breeding and at the end of the day I will give pups to people I feel have the dogs and breeds best interest in mind before I will put a $800-$1000 dollar price tag to the highest bidder just because I think man with a larger bankroll will be the better provider for my hard work. If you are selling to the general public the price you put on your pups is merely your own desire for personal gain not a reflection of your concern for where your pup ends up. Just my two cents.
