Amen Robert! JMO a dog is worth what your willin to pay for it. Most I ever payed - $750.00 for a 10 month old. He was worth ever penny.
x2 on what Robert said...
and I would rather pay 750 dollars for the right 8-10 month old pup than 1000 dollars for a finished dog that is about average and I know he will not get much better if he is 3 or 4 years old...but the right pup...at 10 months should show you something pretty good even though it could be very trashy...but I can see the end result...when I am looking at the right 8-10 month old pup...
