$1000 black mouth cur pups, who buys these dogs on here??

I think about this a little differently. Two different points of view: Personally I cannot afford to pay $1K for a puppy, so I wouldn't. But I do know of pups from a very specific cross that are worth that much and if I had the money, I would buy them. If a buyer knows the seller very well and the seller knows the buyer very well, I think the purchase of a dog for $1K is not all theat bad. I look at it like "insurance". If the buyer knows for certain that he has a one year full money back gaurantee, he a year to decide about the dog and if it is exactly what he wants a the end of the year, the dog is his.

For the seller, this is a great deal because in my mind, most dogs have not reached full potential until thye are a year old. I like waiting until 18 months. For the seller, he gets a guy to pay for feed and shots for a whole year and then he may get the dog back. Either he gets a cull back and he gets rid of the dog without losing a single dollar, or he gets a 1 year old dog back that has not reach potential (still a pup) that he now owns and has not paid for. If I bred dogs for money, it would be "how I would go".

I think this is a matter of buying and selling what you want. Someone who has the money available will pay more sometimes, just becuase they think they are buying something better.
