around here people sell females for more because you can get more money back on them when you breed them. you sell each pup for a price add that up and the litter total. but then again here puppy mills are EVERYWHERE is sicking!!!!!!!
I'd have to say the price is based on the breeder personally. If the breeder has put a lot in to the parents both medically and time wise, and then even more into the pups again medically and personaly i would assume the price woudl be higher. I owuld pay more if i knew the parents were healthy based on testing results and of course the breeder was a breeder not a puppymiller plus if the breeder spent the right time and energy socializing and training the pup. my bff and i both have talked about breeding, if we were ever to get into that area one of the things we have talked about is house training the pups cause goodness i know how much easier it has been to have karma already trained vs mazy who i am STILL house training!
either way the other poeple posting here have all the right answers! there are lots of factors but the most important is to set aside the higher end of the money..then figure out what YOU want in the dog (personality, color, gender) then look at the breeder with a very very fine toothed comb and microscope! spend LOTS of time with them. in an ideal world you would spend a few months doing this at the least. and this site is the BEST place to get all your info and find a good breeder too! |
