In my breed we do all tend to network and find that having the same price or no more than say £50 difference for extras provided that it makes things easier when sharing out puppy enquiries, as nature rarely arranges for the right number or sex of pups born even when you have a full waiting list and singing from the same hymn sheet makes sense.
We also don't differentiate stud prices as we need dogs used to keep the gene pool broad and a dog should not be used based on price. Be the dog a first tiemer or a proven top sire the price is the same, normal puppy price.
Doesn't it cause problems for buyers and breeders having such wide price range for good quality pups?[/QUOTE]
Dont they call that 'price fixing'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eek:

D I'm sure I've read somewhere that that is very very naughty

I'd love the price of Rotts to go sky high - then the numptys might just be priced out of the market - but as it is now even the best breeders with fantastic winning lines are still struggling to place puppies. Even if they've had a waiting list before hand I know of people with pups that they are having to keep. What with the Rott incidents of late and the fact that our breed are now tailed this has put so many people off - so I'd say the best plan for Rott breeders at the moment is to not breed
