Wound you spend boutique bass amounts of money (3-5 thousand, $ USD) for a pet? I personally wouldn't go that high for a puppy dog but I would be willing to spend a few hundred more to get a rare coloring. For example, $200 more for a chocolate colored Beagle puppy as opposed to the common tricolor.

Would I? Probably not, seeing as how I keep getting them for free...

Unless I was filthy rich. Then I would have a couple of Crocodiles in the moat or something.

| | | | If you were a for profit breeder and needed good stock, maybe, otherwise, save your cash and go the rescue route.
If you are not intimately familiar with the animal/breed in question, the chances of you paying waaaaay more than you should are even better than someone who just knows they want an old Fender bass and has 6~8K burning a hole in their pocket.

-Mike | A lemur would be awesome! Or perhaps a Sugar Glider...

If I ever was looking for another pet(I won't be), I'd go to a shelter for sure, lots of poor doggies out there that need a home.
