th6is is my repost from another thread....

and if you are paying 1400 you probably are getting a show puppy....most times you get what you pay for

here is my repost


First off...NEVER buy a puppy from a pet store. They come from puppy mills. These places bred them for money, and that is their only intention.

The governing body for pure breed dogs in the US is The American Kennel Club (ie AKC). They set the standards for breeds, rules of shows, conduct and order. You can chck out their website at www.akc.org.


There are two ways to find a pure bred puppy for cheap or free.

A good way to find a reputable breeder is to go to an AKC sanctioned event, usually a conformation show. These shows are held everyweekend all around the US. Many breeders actually have to many puppies or yound dogs and are willing to give or sell th6em at a low price to a respectable home.

Another way to get an purebreed dog is to go th6rough AKC rescue clubs. These are posted on the akc website and there are many around th6e nation, plus we live in a metro area so I am sure they have one for your breed.

Good luck and PM me with any questions regarding AKC breeders or rescue groups.
