i got talking to someone who said they were looking for a choc roan pup and found some, the breeder was also breeding sables and the choc/roans were £1500 and sables £2000 :o i nearly spat my coffee out! >:(

I also know of somebody that breeds chocolate roan, chocolate roan & tan and charges an absolute fortune, even though she doesn't health test!!   >:D >:D  Worst thing is some people are stupid enough to pay it.

I saw an advert 3 weeks ago on the net offering a " rare lemon show cocker spaniel " for sale for 2000 pounds  :005: :005: I answered it asking which bit of the cocker was rare , it was obviously the price as I have rarely seen one for 2000 pounds  :rofl1: :rofl1:
Needless to say the seller was not amused .

Being serious though , anyone paying above the normal guides explained on COL for a well bred,AA sable or liver is only encouraging the money breeders to breed more . You will see more badly bred "coloured" cockers than well bred ones .There aren't so many honest good breeders who have these colours .
I sold mine ( at 750 pounds ) mainly to show people because I had a  few commercial breeders enquiring which scared me . :fear2: :fear2:

I can't believe these people >:(. No way would I pay that sort of money just because of the dog's colour. I paid the average price in Scotland for Brodie, I didn't have to pay more just because she happened to be a liver roan. I had no idea at the time that her colour was seen as 'fashionable', and it makes me sad to think that dogs like her are ending up with unscrupulous breeders/puppy farmers because they can make more money out of them :'(

In the Netherlands the blue Roan is by far the most popular. But fashionable colours are chocolate, chocolate and tan, liver roan and the sable but less fashionable than the livers/choco's. Luckily most breeders out here don't charge more for these colours .
