Why Do Breeders Charge 2000+ for Puppies?

Many people are skeptical about purchasing a dog for $2,000-3,000. Perhaps you are hesitant because you saw someone selling pups on facebook for $500 or because you could just get a pound puppy for $50. 

When considering selecting a new member of the family, take into account that you get what you pay for! Reputable breeders charge more for their dogs because of all of the time and money they put into their litters to ensure the pups you purchase are healthy, well socialized, and properly cared for. 

Below is a link to a breakdown of approximated costs associated with breeding, whelping, and raising a litter of well bred puppies:

As you can see, REPUTABLE breeders rarely make money in raising a well bred litter of puppies, if ever. This chart illustrates, and thus educates - why reputable breeders decide on the purchase price of one of their puppies in order to be able to continue breeding quality dogs. Our puppy sale prices are NOT negotiable and our puppies will NEVER be listed for a reduced price. Well bred puppies are worth every penny!
