In The Paper Yesterday

[Kirty]

Two ads from different breeders, one after the other:

"VCA registered Staffordshire BT puppies - blue fawn $600"

"Pedigree Staffordshire BT puppies with papers - blue $2500"

Wha??

[Lucy's mama]

Wow. And untill recently, I would not have known that vca registered means they are papered and from a registered breeder. I'd have thought the more expensive ones were from a 'proper' breeder. No doubt others will think the same.

[Kirty]

I just don't understand the price difference. Its very weird.

One is breeding Rego'd Blues and trying to cash in on the "rare" factor. The other one is breeding VCA reg'd Staffords that just happen to be Blue and is selling them for the same price as their other puppies I would presume.

The arse has started to fall out of the market for the rare dilutes. Those that are breeding for colour, with no thought to anything else, are now finding them hard to pass on.

Just out of interest SBT what dilute is a chocolate Staffordshire? There was a girl who used to consistently end up in Albury Pound until she was finally pts. I've never seen one before - can you get them in chocolate?
