Puppy prices vary around the country. The highest prices are probably in the Northeast, New England.

Girls usually are priced higher than boys. I would say average price from good AKC registered breeders are $1200 - $1600 for a boy, and $1400 - $1800 for a girl.

The price usually reflects the amount of genetic testing the breeder does and AKC registration.

Outside of New England, I would be suspicious of a breeder charging more than $2000 for a pet quality pup. Anything under $1000, research extra carefully.

The prices may seem high, but bargain puppies often end up costing more in health care bills and heartbreak.
THANK YOU for that link, very interesting and helpful. I did a search before I posted this thread and didn't find it. But I seem to be a little search-challenged on this forum. (Is it just me or is the search function a little cumbersome!???)
