Maybe my idea of "reasonable" is off here, but when I was searching I was willing to spend between 1500 and 2000+ for a well bred dog (pet quality) from a reputable breeder for a dog. (waiting for the reputable breeders to tell me I couldn't even get past their email for that price...)

Don't let price be your only guide, though. Research, research, research. Check out the breeder from every angle.

I actually got the idea to ask this question from you.. I saw you mention it in the breeder forum. On that Edgewood thread. & actually I think YOUR reasonable is VERY reasonable... if that even makes sense lol.
Also I'd like to say that I'm not looking for a new baby (the two that I have are MORE than enough ). I was just wandering what everyone thought regarding this subject.
