If you judge the quality of a pup on the price you pay, you are going to come a cropper in quite a lot of instances. Firstly in a great many instances all types of breeders find out the 'established' fee and apply that fee no matter what. And then we have the situation where a higher than usual price can be asked for by any breeder for any or no reason. WE have this Santa Claus breeder of Pems where I live wanting $800 for the pups he has bred - that's $200 more than a well known Pem breeder of international repute charges. So you go for the more expensive pup and what do you get - a Santa Claus special - not to say that Santa Claus's pups are not of reasonable quality but they will have been poorly managed and handled by the breeder and sold off at seven or eight weeks instead of nine-eleven weeks.
