Has been increasing my budget a lot after getting on this forum. There was originally a breeder I found on AKC marketplace, and they sell puppies for $1800. However they do not have enough testing on the parents. Then I found a breeder and they have a female dog but I prefer a male, they have testings of parents but just do not upload them on OFA. Price is $2400 plus $150 shipping. T_T I thought it is above my budget because at that time my budget has only increased to strictly $2500. Then I found another breeder but I am not nearby so I guess without a friend of the breeder traveling from the breeder to my state, it would cost me around $500 to get a puppy from them or I need to physically flying there myself which is around $200 plus time and renting a car. I have finally find a breeder nearby and have all tests and is reputed. But they only have female puppy left, however based on their experience, they recommend a female puppy to me instead of a red. But the final price I am getting it is $3000 plus I need to drive to a nearby state to pick up the puppy (about 11 hours of drive) T_T
My friend got a golden retriever from a champion line and it costs him $2500. Even he is saying "why is it so expensive?" Am I really getting what I really need? I am putting down a deposit soon. T_T I have increased my budget by $1000 since the searching journey. What is the actual range? Am I getting a puppy from the high end? T_T
