Did you know this ???
Taken from another breeder but I agree...

Seems many people are looking for the cheapest possible puppy and get offended when a breeder won't lower the asking price. Here is how a good breeder feels about that.

Quality isn’t cheap and cheap isn’t quality! Not all puppies are quality, but if you have fallen in love with the puppy, then there is a reason why. Good breeders can tell buyers what makes up the quality that the buyer has fallen for.

Did you know:
Dogs don’t always deliver naturally and may require c-sections. C-sections can cost over $2000 with no guarantee of any live puppies or the female surviving.
There may be a puppy or puppies in need of assistance to survive. Your breeder may have to hand feed or tube feed every few hours around the clock, meaning that your breeder is on lockdown for days or weeks after delivery.

Your breeder may not allow visitors. They are not hiding anything, but for the security of their home & family, they don’t want to give their address out to every potential buyer. It’s a private residence, not a pet store., so people cannot just swing by. Visitors can also bring parvovirus into the house, which could wipe out entire litters.

Your breeder loves and takes great care of the puppies and wants homes for them where they will receive love and proper care for life.

When a breeder is told that the buyer is on a fixed income, money is tight, etc, the responsible breeder sees a big red flag. How will it be possible for this person to provide a great home for this puppy?
Did you know that for every person who buys a puppy, your breeder has responded to inquiries from at least 20(+) other people who have no intention or means to buy a puppy at all. This takes up a lot of a breeder’s time that could be better spent caring for the dogs.

Did you know your breeder has researched the breed and has spent years trying to bring you the best possible puppies? This includes evaluating pedigrees, health records, etc. with the goal of producing happy, healthy puppies. Responsible and ethical breeders health test, DNA and color test, and these tests are not free.

Did you know your breeder considers no question a dumb question and is available for a lifetime of support?

Did you know breeders have feelings? Breeding can be extremely stressful. Please be understanding.
Did you know breeding is not a get rich quick scheme? Your breeder is very happy to just break even, if that.

Your breeder is offended when asked for a cheap puppy and she should be! Saying you are not going to show or breed the dog does not mean the quality of the puppy that the breeder has is going to be reduced. The breeder knows the quality and has priced the puppy accordingly, so negotiating in this way is insulting to the breeder and all she has been through.
