My poodle came from a single breeder who only has a litter once a year. She does it for the love of the breed not the love of money. Why would I pay $400 for a dog with no papers and no history? And some of us don’t want to pay the huge salaries of some of the government run shelters. I pay enough taxes already.
Curious why she would charge an extra $50 for “papers”, there’s very little or no extra cost/work involved.
