[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve dealt with a lot of breeders over the years, and I’ve [i]never[/i] heard of a breeder keeping a puppy for “training” to sell at a 50% markup.

Girl, run away. That’s scetch as hell.

The 1-year-old puppy should be cheaper; 8-week-old puppies are in high demand.

You don’t really know how well that dog is trained. Also, the dog wasn’t trained by you, so you don’t know what you’re dealing with.

Get an actual puppy and watch YT videos about how to train a puppy. You’ll be better for it.

(I have to dogs—both from reputable breeders.)[/quote]

What do you mean? There is a demand for trained dogs. [b]I spoke with a breeder trainer today who said she gets annoyed when people want a discount on older trained dogs. She said she should charge 10k.[/b] This person is charging 4K. She sold two others. I think if the puppies don't sell she trains and sells as a trained dog. Why is that weird? Genuinely curious.  She obv isn't some top of the line breeder with waitlists. [/quote]

Ok, well then pay $5k for a 1-year-old dog. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

What I mean is….

I don’t think it’s a wise investment when you can get an 8-week-old pup and train and socialize it yourself so you know exactly how the dog is progressing. You also get to bond with your dog during these very critical early weeks and months.

You are paying more money for lesser quality, IM(.
