Difference is I did something about it,My dog was tested,with clear results,I knew the chance I was taking,I also had the support from his Breeder and the stud dog owner.I have an obligation to my pups and their new owners.
People will always try to justify bad breeding practices.....

like i said sally when you sent me that private message thank you for leading me in the right direction

hi Duldey is a kc registered shar pei boy and cost £500 because he was 14 weeks when we got him was origionally for £800 but his breeding dated back to the origional bloodline inported for china, downside is that he was a lot harder to socialise to start with.
april is a kc reg girl and cost £650 but the breeder tried to put it up to £750 ,
but my mother is law got one for the same breeder for £200 becasue he only had one eye supposedly to cover vet fees,
but when i looked at my recipt he had put the april cost £800 and that the othe puppy was free becasue of eye problems lol, do they honestly think we are stupid!

There were quite a few at Manchester (Stafford showground) today I think they are great dogs, and the legs being long appeals to me more.

The unfussy look compared to the WFT cousins is endearing.

Love the pirate patched one.

Might be in business circles, but then breeding properly should not be a business, and breed clubs advising a guide price for breeders is a very good thing for breeders and buyers.

It removes reason for resentment between breeders, with some considering their entitled to charge more for some reason.

Buyers know what is considered a fair price, and that they are not being taken for a mug.

I thought they were all pets first and foremost.

Mine are pets 365 days a year, in addition show dogs maybe 20 days a year, and at most rearing puppies for 24 weeks in their lives. (average 13 years)

Getting off topic again though.

Just to remind what is a fair price for the best bred pups, why is there a wide variance in price, and is this due to fashion, availability etc?

THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS ,i have been to manchester once ,but i didnt like how they set it out lol in january i was just inside the door so was very draufty and had continous people going by ,my dogs lead quite a quiet life ,but i have booked them in for crufts

Mine are Pets first & foremost,they were brought as pets anything else is a bonus.The Breeders of my two are still in touch and regularly check on them.I send updated Pics and progress reports.I never expected anything less.
I prefer my pups to go to pet homes rather than show homes,if they want to show then fine,but we always state in the contract that the puppy is brought as a pet.
