Since you've copy and pasted this to a different thread I thought I would take the time to carefully copy and paste my reply here too. As you didn't bother to reply to the other thread even though you were online I presume you haven't got much of an explanation.

The only explanation that is viable is because other breeders charge that amount,it's ok for others to follow suit and cash in on colour.

My bitch an other dogs have been bred from the same lines as this stud dog,that does not make them unique,is the dog shown?A stud fee of £400 is I think OTT in a dog that if he is shown,hasn't done anything in the ring,you can use a CH dog with similar lines for less than that.

What are you hoping he can add,in terms of quality?

You see people selling for colour all the time even in the more COMMON Labrador chocolates go for more than black and black go for more than yellow , and low and behold there are now silver labs popping up for sale at about £800 the colour does not determine the quality of a dog or its temperament . I often think people who pay more for a suposedly rare colour is just the sort of person who is thinking of esthetics first and look upon it as a status symbol , We bought a yellow lab because her personality was right for us we had a second yellow lab because we re - homed her . I do think blue staffs look lovely and the opinion is that they are better but at the end of the day its still a staffy .

That's just it,they are still staffords,the colour doesn't make the dog, and as I previously posted there are not many in the ring because they have pigmentation faults.

A dog should be bred for the whole package,not just colour!

Totally agree.

Thats it girls and guys...u tell em how it is


she says the price rearing the pups knocks up the price...so how does that work when shes selling em at £1000 blues and 650 blacks from the same litter????

is she feeding the blacks value grub and the blues quality grub for there difference in priceing to be as it is??? hmmm.

signed by...A MORAL DO GOODER

oh no not a moral do gooder, what a terrible thing to be!

ISNT IT JUST

They can't be a 100% sure they will have Blues,the bitch is black and the lines the stud comes from are Black Brindles,so every chance they will be Black Brindles.

Blue is a washed out Black,thats why the pigmentation faults are there,It is also a recessive gene.

The thing is if he was just breeding blues then he would have a bit more of a leg to stand on,but what hes done wrong on is thread is offer blacks from the same litter for less,which has made it obvious to why hes breeding! All so well and good to have a rant ,but to do this with out answering and body's questions has made him look even more a d*ckhead!
The only reason he gives for selling the blues for more, is money! in his post he doesnt hide the fact by saying :"its the going rate"
God i thought he could have came up with a far better answer than that What a dip stck ! but good luck to him ,i hope earns plenty of dough
