yes gaz your right he paid the 300 because he wanted to,i personally think 300 is expensive giving the amount of pups that come from him,i mean do you see loads of people on here running his dogs? its not like there 1 of pups from top working lines then you could justify the price,and i not saying it is a big investment and as for them being good dogs in the right hands most dogs bred for this line of work should make good working dogs in the RIGHT HANDS regardless of the price?
