I have seen prices all over the board..But it really is about doing the footwork..getting to know the breeder..It should never be a one time deal. I would hope that when I purchase my next family member it would be from someone that I can return to again in the future. It should be based on trust and both parties should be happy! You can't put a price on trust and happiness right? Know your breeder and know your client. and know what you can afford. The expense doesn't stop at the sale of the dog..it is only the beginning..
