XCR..what are you doin in the nh forum if youre from wisconsin? lol
I cant imagine those companies are making any money at 100-200 a pup. I thought my uncle threw a number at me, for the shots at like 150 a shot per dog. maybe i didnt hear him right. But then factor in a good what 6-8 weeks of care? How many lbs of dog food a week, which increases as they get older. Doesnt sound like a profitable business to me.
Ad in the manchester union a few weeks back for a lady sellin goldens for $1,000 a peice. She sold them all in 2 weeks.
He is located in Berlin (milan actually), NH by the way. Like I said, real good guy to talk to.
I pretty much read everything on HCS, it's all up on the screen when I log in anyhow.
I recently purchased 2 rare American Water Spaniels, there are no more than 3000 of these dogs registered at any one time in the US, one came from Southern Indiana, Lost River game farms, and the other from a kennel in Waupaca County Wisconsin, I paid $500 & $600 for these dogs, all were registered and had all the puppy shots. Look up "Lost River Game Farms" they have other breeds also. Goldens are so common here that when I raised them 20 years ago, I sold them for $50 for males & $75 for females, there are actually free ads for them from time to time, usually adult dogs though,...perhaps they are less abundant in N.H..
