Personally I'll never understand the designer dog trend to get why anyone would pay thousands for a dog but even I can see how a Crufts Champion for a Dad would push the price up. Asking for 4k for puppies with two 'regular' parents, from amateur breeders is laughable.
Clearly, as someone else suggested, they're upping the price due to their 'brand', assuming some idiots will pay it purely because of the Radford name, and sadly they're probably right if it gets out to their minions what they're doing as some people are truly that sad. It's an absolute disgrace that they would look to cash in in such a way.
I dare say Covid has pushed prices up in some cases, as there are plenty of greedy people out there like the Radfords, but there are definitely much cheaper options still out there in the usual price range, from a quick search. Anyone genuine will go for pups from respectable breeders, rather than this scum. To be honest, the advert just screams money grabbing amateurs anyway. Other adverts below them, in the same area, are asking for much less and, in many cases, give far more background info.
And they have the cheek to claim to be Liverpool fans. Genuine Liverpool fans wouldn't sell out to The Sun whatever price they were offering but the Radfords have no shame.

as far as they're concerned.
