Location is everything when it comes to the price of a puppy, OP you are in the high dollar area and can expect to pay more than in some other areas.
I consider myself a very reputable breeder but i do not live where everyone
has high paying jobs, since there are no big cities close so puppies do not go for as much but that does not mean they are not as healthy or of quality.
I just sold nice Biewer pups for $1500. and paid more than twice that amt. for the parents. so location is very much apart of pricing
