I have certainly seen black masked fawns at shows, none of the coloureds as common as the whites, but never thought them particularly unusual????

Makes life simpler when your breed has only one acceptable colour

I think it is a bit of a minefield for the first time buyer (and sometimes even for folk who know what they are looking for!!)

From my point of view , we are willing to pay that bit more if need be to ensure we are getting a 'good' pup from health tested parents and also good lines.

At the end of the day (in my eyes) it all comes down to the breeders reputation and achievments, the puppies breeding and what buyers are willing to pay.

What makes me wonder is why some of these cross breeds (labradoodles, jackapoo's etc) are demanding such high prices (up to £1000 in our area ) ..i guess thats another thread!!

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'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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

If Brainless has seen some then who are you to argue.

The only colour we don't see alot of in our breed,,in the ring are Blues,they don't do well,as they usually have pigmentation faults.

you say there no rare colors with staffys sallyanne but they ask £1000 for blues !

Quite a number of years ago the blues was very rare to come by and being charged at the silly price they are still going for today.
Altho today they are not so rare, So why the price tag?
U can't tell me a litter of well bred blue staffys take up more money then well bred normal staffy color prices?
So again, Why the price tag on the blues?
