It doesn't bother me at all if one of their first questions is about price. I treat it as just another question and it is one that should be answered! It can be quite a shock to a buyer who has found all their pets on the street or purchased each pet through the newspaper to find out how much a well bred purebred is! I've had people *in shock* say they can't afford a Cavalier, hang up fairly quickly and then call back a year later and say they decided they had to have one anyway, saved up the money and can now afford one. I have set prices for pets so I can readily quote my price.
