I recently came across an ad for a puppy on our local newspaper, and what really caught my eye was the price tag of the liter.  The website noted breeding was a hobby of theirs and to keep prices down they offered non papered puppies for a discount price.  Folks I will be the first one to say, breeding this particular breed is not cheap.  My last breedings have have cost over $5,000.oo on just stud service(service and shipping) and caesarian(c-section) operations.  This does not include all the little coasts such as food, shots, xrays and other medical visits.
