Yeah I paid a little over $2000 for him but his parents were world champions and that was a deal being as I knew the owners. Giving him away was soooo hard but I had to because he was attached to me and when my son came along he did not like that I wasn't giving him all the attention.
I made sure he went to a really good home though. They had bought a female from them who came from championship bloodlines also and they were going to breed them. They were very well to do and when we got there they took and showed me what bedroom was going to be his and all that good stuff. They said we could come visit whenever we wanted and could go swimming at there house in the summer also with the dogs. I said I didn't see a pool and they said you have to take the golf carts up to it. So I was like yeah alright I really now know that this was the family for him.
I never visited him though because it would have killed me. He meant so much to me, but now we have a new puppy and my wife, son, and I love him very much.
It was cool though looking at all the pictures when I went to get him of the famous people who bought dogs from them. They use to sell dobermans, rottweilers, and Filas but now they no longer sell Filas because of insurance reasons. A fila is the type of puppy that we happened to get though. He is just awesome. He is 5 months old and 124lbs. Very head strong but oh well.
