Why Do Purebreds vary Greatly in Price?




Prices, for the most part, reflect the individual anima;s conformation to the breed standard. Excellent examples of any breed will demand higher prices than average for “pet quality” dogs.

There is usually an additional price level for dogd of rare breeds compared to those that are seen on the street every day. If the best puppy is selected from an excellent litter that was the result of a champion bred to a champion, the price is going to be high. If the breed is rare, it will be even higher. In working dogs, a similar pricing shcedule isusually at play, if a pair of excellent purebred herding dogs is mated, and you pick up the choice pup of the litter, you will pay for it. Comapnion dogs of all breeds are usually available at more reasonable prices because of slight conformational, coat, or color faults. It pays to call various breeders and inquire.
