The Price Is Right Goes To The Dogs

Two items have come up recently that prove “The Price is Right”.

The first is my hosting offers. For those who need to have websites or even a server, I can adjust prices to give them a really good deal on just those options they need.

Years ago I bought hosting services so that my fellow framers could have an online store AND have it available cost-effectively. Also, I was able to get them a lower cost than what they were paying and offer other options they were not getting, making them “happy campers”.

A friend wants to have his own website, perhaps list some family tree info, and finally have an email address where HE can control the anti-spam criteria. If he likes, he could also offer a classified ads website, online store, forums, photo albums and yes, even blogs and customer service chat function, all for the same low price. These applications are included for free.

With something like 45 built-in applications, he is set to go. The price can be as low as $50 a year or so, more if he wants to accept credit cards.

If any of you are considering starting a new internet business, I’d be happy to discuss it with you and see if I can find an affordable way to get it going for you. I know it can be a bit complicated to get going on your own and I’d like to make it easier for you.

Yes, I can even get you a deal on credit card processing and all of these planes are at http://Planet-Aloha.Info

The other “right price” is that I am getting ready to stud my Labrador “Koa”, perhaps as early as this weekend! As his “manager”, he performs and I collect the money for him. I ensure he eats well and has medical care, and for that, I get to keep most of the money. I think that sounds just right to me

Having a dog for breeding is an exciting yet demanding job. The dog must be cared for, and depending upon the breed, may command a nice fee for stud service or for the puppies. Here in Hawaii, Labrador puppies which can be AKC registered, go for $1500 each. This is higher than on the mainland because we have such strict quarantine regulations and the costs involved of flying a dog from the west coast or from Australia or New Zealand is so high.

Also, hving the father and mother checked for eye problems, hip and elbow problems, perhaps DNA testing and registration fees, all add to the cost of their puppies.

Although Koa is one of the most tireless catchers of balls and sticks, I have not entered him is any field trials. If he were to win them, I might be able to command a bit more for his service, because traits such as these are passed down to children.

Anyway, Koa’s simple website (yes, dogs can have websites too) is at http://KonaLabradors.Com if you would like to see what he looks like. I’ll add more photos later, such as the one where he is eating an avocado.
