$200 PUPS = GOOD "WORKING MAN" PRICE ... OR A DISGRACE TO THE BREED???

[widerange]

Anytime I see this topic or a topic like this come up I think of gr ch 35? We all know the store so I won't go into that but clearly this dog was a good dog that was bought at bottom dollar price. Clearly 35 dollars is a steal for a dog that makes great ch but his ped was unknown and in turn he didn't produce so was he really worth a lot? Maybe to some? To me at this stage in my career as a dogman he wouldn't be worth much as I look for producer to better my yard for the long run. I'm not well known as a breeder so my pups don't sell fast or for high dollars so in turn I sale few pups and try to sale to dogman I know at lower prices. Do I post pups for sale, yes I do but those people don't get the deal I give to people I know. I know lower prices hurt the breed. I hate saying that cause I feel at times good dogs go to bad owners cause the buyer had a few extra dollars to spend but that's the truth. If you ask 200 for a pup chances are your going to get some punk with a few dollars interested faster then you will a real dogman. But without this being directed st anyone just a general statement I believe top notch breeders can/will/do what they canctto put good dogs in good yards the best they can without just giving away everything they breed. I find these post interesting and educational to myself as I always try to take something away from them for my next buy or sale of stock so I look farward to hearing what else will be added

I'm pretty sure 35 was a great investment. I guarantee they made their money back ten fold lol
