Ligerwolve,
For me it was exactly the same, I asked the breeder who sold me Oliver that I wanted a dog not for shows or for breeding but just to lye on my sofa...
I wanted a "cheap" dog maybe with a "defect" and not 100% standard.(I wanted to spend around 700 euros)
After 1 month waiting, no cheap dog was available so I bought a "litter left over" for 950 Euro.
Yes, a left over, the last of the litter.
My ignorance before is siimilar to the ignorance of many other people today. Only good info (like this site, I repeat) can change it.
Do not ask me if I am happy of my left over, I might bite you!

Trust me thats a lot of money. So if I had someone ask me about the cost first I would also consider their cercumstance because I think it says alot for a person who is willing to use their life savings to have one of these dogs. I am changing jobs just so I can afford all of this and so I can spend all my time with the dog. It still might take 4 years before I can get one. Is that not a testimate to someones love of the breed?
