> I recntly found a beautiful little peke in a pet store for around 600 dollars. Shes got a great personality and is really adorable- i just dont know if that is simply too much to pay. Any averages on what puppies usually go for? Thanks,

DO NOT buy a puppy from a pet store. PERIOD. Pet stores get their
puppies thru PUPPY MILLS and by purchasing dogs or anything from a
retailer, YOU are supporting the puppy mill businesses. There are
plenty of reputable breeders in California that will sell a healthy,
happy, emotionally strong puppy to the right companion home.
Look at the breeder's directory in this site or e-mail me privately
and I can give you several breeder's names in your area.
