Why do purebred puppies cost so much?
A. There are many factors that affect the price of purebred dogs. Responsible breeders put a LOT of money into their breeding program. This is usually not a profitable venture. A responsible breeder will spend from $1500-$3000+ on the breeding dogs that they purchase in order to get a dog from a reputable line with registration papers and breeding rights. Expensive premium food, supplements, and vet bills for an entire kennel adds up very quickly. There are also advertising costs, kennel registration and inspection fees, and individual puppy, dog, and litter registration costs. Our adult are routinely taken to the vet for screening to make sure they have no health issues. Breeders also face unexpected vet bills such as caesarean sections, etc.
