It really depends partly on the location. Dogs in AZ and California are more expensive than dogs in Texas. East cost prices seem to be higher than the Midwest. I would not buy a dog from a breeder who shows and neither one of the parents were a champion. The breeder goal should be to produce dogs that fit the standard, and that would be very difficult if neither of the parents were champs. Some breeders call themselves show breeders, but don’t really show, and may only have dogs with champs in the background, again this just doesn’t mean much. I think shodanusmc price is a little low, in Az, it’s more like $1600 to $2000 with at least one parent champion, but both dogs have multiple champs in the background. Beware of breeders who call themselves show breeders, the good ones seem to say that they are hobby breeders who show, a subtle, but important difference. If you can show that you can provide an exceptional home, some breeders will give you a price break.
