Not just some, but lots! I get calls all the time from show buyers who tell me their stories. I am not talking about a breeder just spouting off a number to get someone off the phone. I'm talking about breeders who do the *big sell* on a show buyer and even call back later with a slightly reduced price attempting to get the buyer to buy. Unbelievable prices and unbelievable strings! Thousands of dollars and 2 puppies back--or sometimes whole litters--or more than a whole litter! And the stories from someone looking for their second show puppy telling the experience of what they paid for their first, strings and all. Just glad I'm not in their shoes!
