There was one in a pet store that a puppy owner of mine saw. The price was originally $1500.00, when the poor thing didn't sell, they kept lowering the price, I think they went down to $600.00. I would think they are not paying over $200.00, so they still made a profit. In the end, the person who bought it called me, because she found our club on the web. She told me how smart she was as "she got a good deal" and her vet said the puppy is "completely healthy", did you ever shout into the wind?
