But I know a few good Breeders that have Blues spring up in litters from time to time,They charge the same for that colour as they do the rest of the litter,It doesn't cost anymore to raise a puppy of a different colour to the rest does it?
The Valglo Kennels recently had 3 blue pups in one of their litters,they charged exactly the same money for those.

Those that are available that you have seen advertised for £1000 are badly bred pups,with those Breeders expoliting the breed for money

Thats not always the case sallyanne, I have seen sellers that have tested pups for £1000, Does that make them bad breeders exploiting the breed for money? Or maybe they are trying to get back the money they payed for the testing? which can work both ways for norm color staffs but u don't see them going for £1000 do ya?
Do yours go for 1000 sally? u test no doubt

Well to me at one point they was.

Thats going back some 14 years ago, I myself didnt see so much as 1 where i come from but i knew they was about being advirtised.
Yet today they are very well known and being sold all over the place, some at resonable prices and some at silly prices.

How much did valglo sell the blue pups for out of interest sally?

Mine don't sell for around that price,both my dogs are tested clear.I would say just because they are tested doesn't make the breeder ethical or reputable does it?They are expoliting the Breed for money.Top Breeders in our breed don't advertise.

Blues have never been rare,good Reptuable Breeders have always had Blues Spring up in litters,

Around £550 I Believe,all health tested well bred pups.

Very reasonable for tested blues at £550. now thats more like it.

Yes there are breeders out there who sell tested blue staffys for a Reasonable price but it makes me wonder why other breeders with tested blues sell at £1000?
Is it down to the bloodline or something? Or just being plain greedy?

Sally, If you had blues, What price would you let yours go for at todays prices? Again just out of interest

The other Breeders who sell for £1000 + are just plain greedy and expoliting the breed,they also seem to think that because one Parent is Blue the pups will be Blue,Genetics don't work in that way.
I wouldn't say it's down to bloodlines because most have dogs in the ped that I and others have never heard of.Blues are very rarely shown because they have pigmentation faults,Grey noses instead of Black,light eyes etc...

I hope I never have Blue pups,but if I do they will go at the same price as the rest of the litter,owners are vetted very carefully and ALL pups are endorsed regardless of colour including the one we keep.Colour is the last thing you should look at when choosing a pup.
