Fatsofatsoman Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 $1500 for a Labrador, wow it's more than I paid for Boonie but I don't think that is extortionate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantsapuppy Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 I thought it was a little high hense why I asked as I really wasn't sure what the approx price was and yes 1500 is what was on the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

experiencedfun Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 if it lives 15 years its only $100 a year for companionship, security and undying devotion. Quite cheap really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**Super_Dogs** Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) The price will vary from $1000 to $1500. I agree with experiencedfun. Yes you can get a puppy for a few hundred cheaper than this, but the quality of the litter and support provided by the breeder is more important.

Dogsfevr Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I would have said $1650 was more average. $1500 sounds a good price . The main thing i would be worried about is breeders testing for hips/elbows & DNA for EIC.PRA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantsapuppy Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks ladies as I said I was t sure if this was a good price or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziwong66 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 When we looked for labs this year (June/July) the average price was $1400. I saw some cheaper around $1200 and some dearer at $1500. We paid $1400. $1500 is not outside what we found when looking. As showdog says, the main thing i was worried about was hip/Elbow scores and EIC & PRA and then additionally a good open relationship with the breeder.

jakeyjangels Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yes that is right. I paid within this range for our beautiful boys. From my experience breeders who a) breed for quality and b) only have 1 or 2 litters a year (hand raised with love) tend to ask top of this range for a pet (to cover their expenses). And even then I believe they only break even. You get what you pay for and as a previous poster said, worth every cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 $1500 for a Labrador, wow $1500 for a Labrador, wow replies like these confuse me, I dont know if you both think it's too much or too little or if you just dont think the OP should've asked in the first place.

Ivy obviously thinks it's too much for a Lab. Ruby is confused at that reply - as in why would you think that. the first reply could be taken as derogatory towards labs.

My reply was in relation to english.ivy's dismay at $1500 for a Labrador. Nothing to do with the OP. wantsapuppy, it was not a stupid question Edited October 17, 2011 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatsofatsoman Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Sorry if I sounded like a dumbass asking nah there's no problem with asking - when I was first looking for Boonie I had no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziwong66 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Sorry if I sounded like a dumbass asking nah...you didn't. the reason we didn't go with the $1500 breeder was not because of the quality of the dogs. They had great pedigree & health scores which was equal to Wilbur's pedigree & health scores. The deciding factor was speaking to each breeder and Wilbur's breeder had far better communication and people skills which was important to me as i think it's in the puppy's best interest if both breeder and forever family can communicate well. I would have happily paid $1500 for the right pup that came from the (entirely subjective) right breeder for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
