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!???)
