One of these puppies came into my workplace (i work in a pet store) and I gave it a lot of fuss (we had a lot of pups in that day - we also had a pure bred Bernese Mountain dog and a rough colliexborder collie) and the owner said the ddb cost him £1500. way, way too much for a dog, imo. but if youre that desperate for that particular breed... they are very appealing puppies but I prefer long haired dogs. my dream dog would be a rough collie (lassie in other words!) which I could enter obedience competitions with and agility. would LOVE to do all that with a dog. but it doesnt have to be purebred! My family's current dog, Bondu, was rescued by us from Cyprus - it cost almost £3000 to bring him back to england. He is incredibly clever. although he is 9 now, we can teach him any tricks in about 10 minutes. He is very cute too!!!! but I like the mastiffs. crossbreeds have more merit imo tho.
