I need to add to what I wrote above about average prices. Those are usually for champion-sired pups. I am biased in favor of show breeders because they tend to do more genetic testing and research.
Members of the breed parent club, the YTCA, and show breeders are not all perfect, and you can find good hobby breeders, but I think the chances of a healthy pup are better than with a backyard breeder and certainly a broker or mill.
