I think it's a valid opinion when my hard earned cash is involved. On the other side of the coin I think it's a valid opinion when a breeder has spent years producing a line of stellar animals and wants to be compensated appropriately. I don't think the average end consumer takes into consideration the time, money and dedication that goes into producing quality animals.
But how do you verify that they are quality animals? Who decides what that quality is? The same people who stand to make the most on selling a non quality animal at a higher price than a quality animal just because it looks different? The big name breeders because they have time and money in the animals? How does your average consumer know what is and what id's not a quality animal when there is nothing to say or prove what that quality is.
