What does a puppy typically cost?
Depending on where you get your ACD, you can pay from $150-$1,500. There is a lot of truth to the saying “you get what you pay for”, as raising a quality, health puppy is not cheap for the breeder and will not be cheap for the future owner. Skyfire typically asks $800 for companion dogs. For our investment over the years, we are deeply in the red. For those that think somehow this price is unexplainably high, let us think about what you are getting…. The mother and father of a litter of Skyfire puppies were typically puppies that were selected at a young age themselves. Several puppies may have been grown out, shown, trained, and never bred before we found just the right ones. A pedigree analysis has been performed including inbreeding coefficients calculated to ensure similar distant relatives do not make the dogs too closely related, but that the litter is still being bred for consistency based on 5-20% ratios.
