It really makes me mad when people sell there pups for outlandish prices if i was paying $1000+ a pup my pup better have a gold grill or a diamond studded collar cause i mean thats freaking stupid!!!!
If someones willing to pay $1000.00 and up I say sell it. Obviously the market is there as witnessed on this site. Personally, I'm with Darick I wouldn't go any higher than $500.00 even if the DNA was traced back to Petey from the Little Rascals!
hmm well i think alot like you except i just cant bring myself to sell anything above 500 but i was in it for the love just like i am now lots of people and the reason i posted this our in it to make a living breeding and selling there dogs like puppy farms kinda

I haven't had much time to get on here and comment til now...
I think the asking price per pup should be based on quality, registry, then who the pup goes to.
I have sold pups for $500 + that were going to show homes and will be foundation breeding stock. I have also given dogs away for free to good homes, that still send me updates! I have sold them for $200-300 also to great homes that still keep me updated.
I have a breeding that I am going to price at $1200 and lower for pick pups. They are going to be UKC/ABKC registered and will be shown. I am only selling a very select few pups and co-owning the rest out to show homes.
It's all based on personal preference I guess.
I would never spend more than a few hundred for any dog, does not matter what registry or if it is show quality. I am a tight #$@! I guess. lol The way I see it is if you have some good pups that are show quality and you have people that are willing to spend a big chunk of money on them then why not charge a lot? If you believe your pups are worth $2000, so be it. If nobody buys them then they're really not worth that much. lol
If I have a litter that I'm selling for $500 and nobody buys any, I'm lowering the price ONLY for those who actually want to pay that much. I don't think I've ever sold a puppy for the price I had listed! The ones that don't try to lowball you are usually the best homes!
I had someone offer me $2,000 for Sega and many others try to buy him, I got him for $400. He was pretty much given to me cause It was my time to own a dog again. I left a good period between the last cause we had such a bond.
your right, lol, in that I would probally keep it as well and true bout givin away.. I had people offer me 600 cash on the street for lady, i turned it down, spent just over 500 on a surgery she needed and then gave her away for free to a good home so ya agreed..
yea maybe i should have elabrated alittle but for the most part i see no sense in pricing a pup at 1k but if i had that much into a dog or a litter it wouldnt be forsale anymore i would have to keep it cause i would never sale it for a heafty price
just me but im not saying i dont agree with some of your points just saying i cant do it personally i would give it away before i sold it for 1grand
