Reminds me of a fool and their money are soon parted.

Hi all,
Whilst I was still fit and well enough I was guardian to numerous Dobermann's over the years and these were dogs and bitches that all had traceable pedigrees and were bred for health and temperament with registered and confirmed health testing done.
There is no way I would ever pay anything close to the price of any breed with a good pedigree and health testing for what is basically a half breed mongrel with zero health testing and little to no information on the breeding as found in the top 3 of this list.
As the saying goes their are no bad dogs only badly bred dogs and badly brought up dogs.
A well bred dog is so much more than just putting a dog and bitch together and making puppies and sorry but these man made fashion accessories for stupid money are an abomination IMHO and more fool anyone silly enough to pay over the odds for a breed with no health testing or temperament testing and therefore no way of knowing what you are letting yourself in for. Sorry if this upsets anyone but this is my opinion and something as a dog lover that I feel very strongly about.

Interesting. Why is the price of puppies going up so much during COVID-19?

Is it all demand led? Are people in quarantine suddenly deciding life would be better if they had a man's best friend? Maybe if the kids had a dog to play with, it would take some of the load off the parents to keep them occupied?

Also perhaps now that parents are also at home it is best time to get a puppy and be able to train them ..

Either way, the supply demand economics is in full force

And supply is trying to follow suit, which will lead to quality of dogs dropping due to unscrupulous people. This is bound to end up badly. I have been thinking about getting a dog for several years but get the feeling that many of these 'lockdown' dogs w...
