You came here looking for trouble, you had no other reason to come here.

It is creepy and stalky. I have nothing more to say to you, run along.

Why is he charging more as the puppy ages? Just because it comes with training? They should come with training regardless, plus socalization. I got Vegas at 11 weeks, and he was the same price as his siblings, male or female, at 8 weeks.

Maybe instead of asking these questions here on this board maybe you ought to ask him as his phone number is listed on his website and I'm sure you will get the answers you are looking for

I charge more for my dogs when they are older just cause an owner doesn't have to do as much work with them, but my older ones usually are sold at a year old and have training done. My pups are sold for 1,500.00 also, does that make me a bad breeder that is ripping off my clients? I have one of the best contract on my dogs that you will find with breeders that usually hide behind loop holes that are designed for that very reason

...nobody is talking about you

you haven't contributed to any post about poodles why on earth are you on a POODLE forum?

since you're a strong proponent for GSD's call this BYB seeing as his telephone number is listed
and have a conversation with him about it

goshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I guess the reason I come here to stand up for a friend and fellow breeder is that I also wonder why such things need to be posted on a poodle forum instead of talking about your breed. I don't go to a GSD forum and complain about Poodle breeders.

So at that I leave here scratching my head

That's bs imo, if someone is breeding then they obviously know they are taking on the responsibility of socializing the puppies and getting them ready for their homes. Doing this with the puppies comes with breeding. Obviously, the puppy is being sold at an older age because you don't have enough buyers.

Am I the only one that this doesn't make any sense to? If there's a price change, at all, then I've seen puppies go cheaper as they've aged and not sold.

This may be a poodle forum, but this is in the 'Other Animals' section.

So what you are saying Because I have one pup left from my litter that I should lower my price, How do you know that I didn't purposely hold back this pup to train and sell as a trained dog with titles on the said dog. Some clients would rather pay for a trained dog than purchase a pup and have to do all the training themselves. And i'm not talking about house breaking and socialization cause this comes with my pups at no charge. Now lets say if I was selling an older pup that didn't sell right away and he/she was house broke and well socialized for the same as I sold the other littermates don't you think that the client is getting a deal. I never had to once lower my price on a pup and never will

My question Do you breed German Shepherds or are you just going by what you think should be right? Do you even know what is involved with raising a litter? or better yet I bet you think that because I sell my pups for $ 1,500.00 dollar I am making $$$$ hand over fist. Lets see you support the kennel with the money made from selling puppies and see who is really making money

No, I don't breed, no, I never will.

But EVERY reputable breeder I've ever seen, y'know, the ones that do health and temperment testings? I've never seen them change their prices based on age. If I bought a puppy from a breeder, I'd expect basic training, INCLUDING housetraining. No, that's not called a deal, that's called responsible breeding.

Anyone that doesn't do this shouldn't be breeding, much less charging MORE for it.
