They are so adorable!!! I love Jude and pretty much all of them. How much do they normally sell for and do you have any friends that breed in Texas so I would not have to fly a puppy down here? I am looking to get one for labor day or sooner who knows?

Well the only breeder I can recommend in Texas has dogs that won't be old enough to breed (2 years old) until Fall of 2008. However, I can put you in touch with a great breeder in New Mexico, who just had a litter. I usually don't put a cash price on my puppies and even that is negotiable. The amount I charge would depend on whether you were interested in a pet or a breeding/show dog, and how I felt about the home you would be providing to the puppy. My foundation sir Kaman, who passed away last year. was given to me by his former owner. She was offered $10,000 for him from several breeders, but when she met me and saw how much Kaman and I bonded, she said she realized that he was meant to be my dog and just gave him to me. It wasn't until I took him to a show, and all the mini breeders there came running over demanding to know how much I had paid to finally get his owner to part with him, that I realized what a tremendous gift I had been given. Since then, that has pretty much been my philosophy. The welfare and happiness of the puppy comes first, price is secondary. That is why I am usually in the hole after a litter, but then, the joy I get from my little ones and seeing the joy they bring to the lives of others, means more than any money could buy.
