Met my first Entlebucher at DD .. I was shocked to see how small they are ... So i have met all 4 swiss mountain breeds now i think lol Not sure it was a Appenzell last year..
I too was surprised at how small they were. I met the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog for the first time at DD yesterday - what GORGEOUS dogs they were! I was smitten and kept going back to them
They are a relatively new breed from what I was told at Crufts this year. Gene pool is still quite small...
Wow, there were only 6 puppies registered last year, and none so far this year I met one at PAH a while back, the owners were very impressed I guessed the breed, I had no idea they were so uncommon!
I guess that could be true if there is demand - but when I got my buhund I found they were cheaper than a well bred gsd for example and I thought that was perhaps because there is less demand for the breed so they don't comand such a price. I wonder how much they are?!
I don't think you would see much if any changge from a £1000 at least. There are some sites and looked on the breed club site but not giving any prices which isn't surprising and a good thing.
Buying a dog is generally only a minor expense in terms of how much a dog costs over a lifetime anyway so I never think its a bad thing .. although frenchies at 2000 seems a bit steep! I think our bernese cost about that anyway 9 years ago and they're not as rare.
