Location sometimes dictates prices so big bucks isn't always a reality. It's
hard to compete with $150-$200 prices. Quite often these litters are by Spot
out of Sally(no offense to our Sally's) who've had maybe 1 shot. Mine will have
At Least 2 and a pedigree to die for. Limited reg. plus spay/neuter I'l be
damned if I'm going to add to the rescue problem.

Diane touched on a bunch of really good points.
More specifically, here are a few issues dealing with GSD breeders
1- Stud fees: do yourselves a favor an poll 10 other breeds for stud
fees. What GSD breeders charge is WAY below market. And then everyone wants a
deal. A recent finding, Standard Poodle, stud fee $2000, or $1800 plus a
pick pup......WTH????
2-Puppies: Poll the same or 10 other different breeds for puppy prices.
We are WAY below market.
One of my clients recently purchased his second Goldendoodle for $1800.
He paid $1800 for the first one also. Same "breeder". By the way, the
second one had been returned to the breeder because it didn't get along with
the
kids. So she got 2 x $1800 for the same dog. NO PEDIGREE...No
guarantees, no health checks, must be neuter (paid by owner) since the breeder
doesn't want competition..... WTH???
3-But.......it is common knowledge that you will pay over $2500 if the pup
has a german pedigree, even if the new owners cant read it or understand
it, and this dog wont work a day in his life..... WTH????
And we claim to have the best dogs in the world? Its about time we start
treating them that way.
I know, the economy is bad, blah, blah, blah. But this is nothing new.
In my business, when someone tells me I charge too much I tell them they
are used to too little. We opened last year and we are expanding. In this
economy.
What are our dogs worth?
