Hello Ligerwolve,
About a month ago, there was the same discussion about the prices for puppy's in the West part of Europe and the East part. Of course the puppy's in the East part are lower in price then in the West part because of the living standard is also lower then in the West part of Europe. And not only the living standard. What, do you think about veterinarian costs, pedigree costs,(her in Holland over Euro 50 pro puppy) chipping cost are exra, and then I don't speak about raising costs for the puppy's. I think, that is for every breeder the same. That costs a lot of money. There is a big difference between West Europe puppy's and East Europe puppy's.
And what Ela wrote is true but we here in West Europe, don't earn a lot of puppy's, so we are not the big survivers in this case.
About shipping a puppy into Australia, I wrote some time ago, the same solution to another person, which is very interesting in CW's. Mayby you can find it on the forum.
there is a possibility to let the puppy stay at the breeders place for half a year. That means, the puppy can get his Rabies vaccination after 12 weeks, then after a month you can take bloodsamples and these have to send to a special laboratorium. After they give you the results, if the dog is free of Rabies, then he has to stay for half a year.After this time, it can shipped to Australia . So if you can welcome your dog, he/she is about 10 till 12 month old and no puppy anymore.
I hope, I have give you some more information about shipping a dog. If you want, you can buy an older dog, that is a difference of 3 month. Also this dog have to do bloodsamples and stay after the results for half a year at the breeders place.
Many greetings,
letty from Holland
