I’ve been researching a lot and talking to some breeders around the Ottawa region for a miniature poodle.. But when it comes to actually finalize I get over nervous and feel like I need to go back and do more research. This will be our first dog and we’re as excited as we are nervous.
So I’m writing here in the hopes that maybe some of you have experience with the breeders mentioned above either directly or indirectly. From my research they both seem like great responsible breeders but any sort of first or second hand experience would be super valuable to hear.
As this will be my first dog I’m also curious about whether I’m paying the right amount. Is 2500-3000CAD the normal range for miniatures? I don’t mind paying a high price for the right healthy dog from a responsible breeder. But I have no reference point to know if something is considered low mid or high. At what point is it too cheap I should be avoiding it or at what point is it too expensive that maybe I’m being ripped off due to my lack of knowledge of a price range? Please don’t feel like I’m shopping for a good deal. I’m really not. Im just looking for a baseline to understand what to expect.
