Whats silly about £500 for a well bred, well reared, microchipped, registered pedigree puppy?  Whats FAR more "silly" is Saluki's at £1000 (not registered) and Doodle this and "Jug" that at £800!!  Oh and a few chocolate Patts at £600!   
  
For the record I have turned down many thousands of pounds for my dogs, I have "orders" for 5 puppies and Ive never bred a litter!  I have people that want my males semen in Canada, the USA and Australia as well as bitches travelling from the continent, guess what?  I had him a Suprelorin implant so that HE would be happier and settled when my pup came
