I think it's just the fad and people band wagon on to it. I believe the high price is due to the internet and new comers to the sport. Like was stated above it's all about supply and demand on top if marketing. If people are so stupid to jump out and pay that for a pup then I see why the prices are so high. Just like the wright bred curs being so high before there was supply and demand there was dang good marketing by whom ever. I've never been just shellshocked by either. If some one were to show up to the NFR next yr and win the all around on a painted Appaloosa unicorn then the following yr there would be a big demand for them. It's all about saying oooohhh I got this and I had to give this for it I know it's going to be a good dog. As far as keeping the riff raff out, I don't see it because if some joe blow scrimps and saves to buy a 2500$ pup do you honestly think their going to put it down if it doesn't do anything. No, their going to breed that sucker and try to recoup some of their money thus in return throwing more junk in the gene pools. Do I believe there are good dogos out there? Absolutely, and I also believe there are good honest breeders out there to. I just haven't figured out why some folks want to re invent the wheel, but to each his own.
