I don't see why people should be EXPECTED to give pups away for free. If I bred a litter, they would be for myself, family and friends, for free, but that would be my choice. I have been offered pups in the past that were well bred, for free, but wern't what I wanted or needed, so I didn't accept the offer. I also had a call from a bloke offering to place a pure Saluki with me, but his conditions were unacceptable. When I've seen a breeding I like, I have no hesitation in paying for a pup. It's great that people give pups to good working homes for free, but as I say, it shouldn't be EXPECTED.
