If you got one that was healthy, consider yourself lucky. But make no mistakes about her origins. She's either from a bad breeder or a puppy mill. A reputable breeder doesn't sell to stores. They don't relinquish control over who their pups go to as long as the credit check clears. I personally don't consider the asking price that high. A reputable breeder in GA can easily ask $1500+ for a dog, and have a full waiting list of potential clients. I have more of a problem with the ones who ask 500-600 for them because I can be assured they didn't put in the necessary testing or guarantee the health of the dog.

Did you see my link? His dog had Grade 2 LP and he was here asking for advice how to pop the knee back into place himself because he didn't have the money for an ER visit. These are his own words!
