No I don´t think that is correct, it should be the same for all people from abroad. I just think that for a Slowakian person with a avarage salary the 200-300€ they pay for a dog are even more than the 600-800€ Westerneuropeans pay for it. |
It seems the prices of the Czechs puppies is a very sensitive issue here. However, I don't think much can be done towards rationalising it.
There will always be excellent , avarage and indiffirent breeders, honest and dishonest sellers, conscious and naive buyers, etc. In the market economy a puppy, like anything else
, is worth as much as a buyer is ready to pay for it. I'm not saying that this is positive, but as long as there are differences in salaries, prices and living standards in different countries, unification or standardisation of puppy prices would be difficult if not impossible. And even in the future, when economically 'the East meets the West' and the clubs perservere in doing their best- differences will probably exist due to the basic factors - described above....
