With the people I know - price is Not determined by the state you are in, but actually the quality of your parents, lineage. and quality of the pups. If of course you are dealing with parents and lines that are not championed - they are cheaper. The closer they are to the pups being championed sired/dam and good quality to standard - the higher the price. Also which champions they are matters too. I have paid an average of 3200. and higher for each of my dogs, but they are championed sired or both championed sired and dam. There was no guarantee they (the pup) would themselves become championed. When I have bred using someone elses stud - I have paid upward above 500. and way higher than that (I mean double that) just for the breeding alone. This price seems to be normal no matter which state you are in. I prefer to have champions as close as possible to my pups as well as top quality parents that are compatible to one another - hoping they will produce the best pups possible. It is all about the standard and how close they are to it. This also includes health, temperment, etc...
