I think boys are typically less $ as there seems to be more boys born, and most people want females. If I bred(which I don't), I would never charge more for a girl than a boy, but, that's just me.
Good luck on your search. You actually can find very reasonable/beautiful babies around here for $500-$1000, and with the economy like it is, some breeders are even lowering prices, or they get stuck with a lot of pups! |
I'd be nervous about shipping, and that would also up the cost. If I was to buy from far away I'd probably insist on waiting until I can physically go there and pick up the dog myself to make the transition a little easier on the puppy. I hate that cost is even an issue, but unfortunately its a big one as I just finished school and have loans to pay off. Doesn't mean I can't afford the dog, just means I really have to budget for it.
I never thought of the economy affecting the prices, maybe if I wait long enough I'll see a drop and be able to snap one up! Seems $$ is tight for most everyone right now so I could totally see that happening.
Thanks for your advice and well wishes!
