Hi, Peggy,
The point was only that $2500. was, in my opinion, a very high stud
fee. I could put a down payment on a house for that money. My
cavaliers would love a new house.
You seemed to discriminate between producers of champions and other
studs, so I mentioned that the dog was a champion by way of stating that
perhaps that was the *owner's* rationale for this fee. To me, it is
still over the budget, and kept me from using the dog.
