in reply to the price of a blue stafford!
as a breeder of blues all i can answer is the pups are priced on what i was very happy to pay for the parents! as i imagine this is where most breeders get their prices from?
as for tackin the p--s this is not the intention

there is such a demand i have people wanting to pay a deposit before my bitches are pregnant !
i have never done this but, it is however nice to know i can pick & choose very carefully where my pups spend their lives only selling to the best possible owners & allways prepared to take them back if the pup is in need of rehoming so i feel happy to continue as every body has the free will to choose what they pay for a pup.
Have you seen the price of a Chocolate Labrador against the price of a golden one or a Blue or Harlequin Great Dane in comprason to a Fawn.
Same difference
