As for me i have spent way more money on my dogs than i ever thought i would. I did this to get what i wanted. A Big boned gritty catahoula. the reason i breed is to keep a male like zeke around so i will hopefully always have a part of him around i gave away one good looking big male to a friend for workin cattle.with the understanding if need be i could breed him if something happens to zeke. I spend a lot of money to raise the dogs and i ask a fair price for the pups 300-400 in most cases. I have and will stand behing my word. I get great pleasure hearing back from the buyers and have had no complaints. I have read several threads about dog peddlers and to "beware of them" it seems to me that if your name is not hot topic on ethd you are lumped into a peddler bracket?? I feel that if I put a good dog up for sale for a fair price and it works out great, then it is a win win. I dont think for a minute that the higher the price the better the dog
