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

Jack I was not being specific about your line and your dogs I was talking more in general.there are many people out there who sell their dogs for big money only to have that high priced dog bred when it shouldn't be.I personally believe a dog needs to prove itself in the box just like its parents,grandparents, uncles,aunts,sibling..etc.but that's just how we do.not saying its the end all be all just our way.nothing more

But here's the thing: if other people are SUCKING at breeding dogs, then their POOR RESULTS (or NO results) is all the criticism that's needed.

If somebody wants to breed untested, non-athletic, dogs together ... why should I care?

I am not going to be buying their dogs.
Their dogs do not affect me.

I just don't see (nor will I ever) how worrying about what others do benefits me in any way.

I think that GOOD dogs are WORTH MONEY.
I think MY TIME, MY EFFORT, and MY EXPERIENCE are worth money.

So to go off on some tangent about green blowhards, breeding untested dogs, and how this "ruins the breed" has NOTHING to do with THE POINT.

I agree, pups from green blowhards, breeding untested shit, are NOT going to command the same price as a proven breeder breeding his best dogs together.

And if a MFer can't tell the difference, then HE IS A DUMBASS.

But to argue and digress to talk "only" about idiots breeding paper is as stupid as wanting to say the best-bred dogs in the world should only be $300.
BOTH ARE WRONG.

It seems nobody wants to be SENSIBLE and think correctly ... they only want to argue one extreme stupidity or the other

And I personally would rather see "unchecked, well bred dogs" be overpriced ... than to see TRULY well-bred, healthy, vibrant pups disrespected by being sold for a newspaper price.

To devalue these dogs is a worse crime in my eyes than to get a little carried away in price

Because the truth is DOG BUTCHERS and BROKE MOFOS are the only ones who don't think these dogs are worth a good price.
