Hi Toni, I would love a Blue and Reno is one stunning dog, but it all depends on the cost, I dont mind paying for a good dog, but blues are not terribly rare these days and I cant understand why most are 500-600 pounds more, underneath they are the same breed. I would only be prepared to pay 250 for no papers and 400 for papers regardless of colour. The dog would not be shown or mated just be our loving pet. Dont know how you feel about blues but think some breeders just mate them to make money. I will mai Dawn though regarding Reno to see what she is charging and where in the country we are in South Yorkshire so again its the distance we have to consider to get there.
