PUPPY BUYER'S MARKET!!
In recent times, rescue has taken in breeding stock from puppymills and backyard breeders who are getting out of Setters due to the low selling prices of the puppies.
Rescue has also taken in puppies
and adults that breeders had advertised as "free to good home", and found that they could not even GIVE THEM AWAY!
Even reputable breeders are
lowering their prices on older pups
that have not sold.
If the puppy you are considering does not have champions in the first and/or second generations,
you should be paying
NO MORE THAN $100
for a puppy that has had minimal vetting (shots and deworming only).
