Sometimes when people have dogs imported and have not spent
years researching pedigrees, and breeding certain dogs to get
certain quailities to become established, maybe they take for granted
what they have accquired....
I also breed Labrador Retrievers, and the man I go to that owns the stud dog,
will set the price of the pups, you are only paying him a stud fee, yet, if he tells
you how much you are supposed to get per pup, and you charge half of that
amount, he will stop doing business with you.
The way he sees it is he hasn't been breeding certain bloodlines for over 30 years,
to watch someone practically just give them away at a bargain price.
