Hi people,
I think, that whole discussion about prices is nice but without sense. As you can read here, the prices are very very different between 200-2500 EUR. Simply say, the people, which looking for some puppy must choice like by everything in the life. Must compare quality of puppies, quality of breeder, quality of servis, which is from breeder offered, transport costs etc. This all things (and many more) must compare which offered price.
Every breeder have own "strategy" and every have own condition and prices. And simply say - try to discuss in good shop about price with argument, that on street market is cheaper !!! One of my friends explain me one typical story, which "speaks from my heart" as well :
Breeder get a call from a man, who interesting about puppy. This man asking about price (dont laugh, breeders, please, we know very good, that in many times is it first and only one interess by such people

). Breeder inform about his price and man said, that will call later again. After 1 week calling again and ask, if breeder have still some puppy ? When get positive answer ask again about the price. Get the same info, like week before. And the reaction was wery typicaly for such people - "... its incredible expensive, I called to other breeder and he have puppies 50% cheaper ...!!!". Answer of my friend was absolutely top - "... then I dont understand, why you call to me and why you say it to me ? Go to the other breeder and buy the puppy there. For me have my puppies this value. If somebody feel, that his puppies have 50% value of my, then its his problem. Thank you for calling and goodbye.".
I must say, that I dont speak with such people as well. If somebody call me and first asking about the price, then I loose interest about such man. I know, that speaking about prices and money is very sensitive thema, but simply say - market is market and if you feel it or not, breeding is some kind of "production" as well. If somebody will buying puppy for 5.000 EUR and found enought people, which are ready to pay it - very good. I see not problem in high prices, but by the "breeders" who selling puppies extremely cheap. In 99% are such "breeders" people, who want only sell and dont want never more hear about the puppies. Its my experience.
