I feel I must respond to all the negative posts on this website concerning the price of "Blue" Staffordshire Bull terriers, all the people that have said that selling of a top pedigree (18 champs passed on in my case) staffy "blue" for its correct market value of £1000 is in some way not right, this is very confusing to me. There are loads of reasons why the price is that high and not just a financial one !!
I would ask this question , If you owned a house and its market value was £500,000 . Would you sell it for £250,000 ? would you ?
Of cause you would'nt !!
You would be an idiot to do that or mentally challenged.
So, please, to all those moral do gooders, I would say if you don't want to buy a blue staff for £1000 you don't have to (because we live in a free society and you don't have to do anything you don't want to do) and also, you don't have to make breeders out like me to be in some way like a modern day scrooge.
I don't have a factory somewhere in the middle of nowhere churning out low grade puppies, 10 to the dozen, treating them badly and just doing it for the money, and I resent that a few stupid people on this website have tried to portray me in this way.
I am paying a very high stud fee,then there is my time to consider, then add to that, rearing the pups,feeding the pups, medical bills, the high price I paid for my bitch in the first instance, etc,etc.
I do it, because I'm a dog lover and I want to breed the best dogs I can. So people I sell my puppies too can show the dogs my bitch produces. Who knows? there maybe a possible best in breed at future competitions, which would make me very very proud.
Its a lifetime hobby for me and not a money making exercise.
Let me educated the cynics out there, everything in a capalist society (which we all live in) has a price (a market value) including puppies, just because they are living animals does'nt change a thing.
we do not live in a communist or dictational state, A nice loaf of bread costs £1.30, a mars bar cost 50p, a Bulldog puppy upto £2000, a new tv £500, and a rare blue staffy with a fantastic lined pedigree costs £1000 and if you don't like it, well excuse me, but thats just tough !!!
How dare you ? My dog is my life, and for the most part the price is to get my puppies into homes of people that really want to have that dog in there home, I know that if someone pays £1000 that dog will be cared for and not abused.
I feel i had to get this issue off my chest, My first responsibility is to the pups I sell, at £1000, I am safe in the knowledge they will be going to good homes, If you are willing to pay £1000 for a puppy, you are the sort of person that is going love that puppy.
Otherwise you would'nt do it
RANT OVER !!!!!
