I think the area definetly has a bearing on it. Some areas are not going to get
top prices, and some have alot of competition. Remember when people justified
buying a puppy from a pet store because show breeders gave them such a hard
time? This is similar, to a point. If someone is going to breed thier bitch
anyway, I would rather have them at least breed to a dog that has health
clearences and good temperament than Jakey Stoltzfus's dog that's tied up
outside the barn. Obviously we would try and change thier mind first, but
sometimes that doesn't work, so in some cases having a reasonable stud fee is
a benefit to the breed. Not that I would use a top notch stud dog for this,
but if I had a younger, unproven dog or could refer them to someone who has
such a dog. Seriously though, who's going to pay $1500. for a stud fee unless
1.) the dogs a proven Speciality winner, 2) He has an impecable health
pedigree, 3) they are planning on keeping a puppy. JMO, Sue T
