> I'm afraid it will get worse until it finally levels off and gets better hi all, i believe this to be the case also. if you remember back when shar peis were first recognized, they were demanding exorbitant prices too. it was not unusual for a pet to sell for 3000 and this was back in the 70's! everyone jumped on the bandwagon and eventually the price dropped. maybe this was due to the fact that once people started owning them, they realized all the troubles they had i dont know. but i do know that now the prices are considerably lower. akitas were another breed that started out with astronomical prices. on the other hand, there are plenty of breeds that sell for as much as a cavalier and always have. bulldog breeders have now raised their prices to 2500. harlequin great danes were selling for 1500 10 years ago and are still commanding high prices. it will be interesting to see what happens with cavaliers 10 years down the road. claudia ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
