What do yall consider a fair price on a pup? I bred my dog to a stud dog a few county's over. They got 2 pups for stud fee. There price on a pup is way different than mine. These are registered BMC pups. I was just curious as to what kind of price do yall consider decent. Pups are done the right way. They have had the proper worming at the proper time. And before they leave will have there shots . After doing all that. Putting all the work in. (Softening up a high quality puppy food) etc...what do yall consider a fair price on a pup. After all is done the right way? My price is half the price of the stud dog owners.

Youre gonna get some highly variable responses.
I feel it all depends on the breed, the lineage, what YOU value your dogs at.
I look forward to reading all the opinions you get on this subject.
Good topic.

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

Good point mrs la...i am just basing this question off of my pups. Most folks (other than dog hunters) would consider a cross bred dog a "mutt" . They dont consider the work-ability in the dog. When yall post prices of your pups please post the breed as well.

Oh youre very right. Yes those same folks will pay a rediculous amount for a "Designer breed" aka cross breed puppy just because they make a cutsie name for it lol. Years ago I used to be an adoption coordinator at a shelter and id joke about mashing breed names together on the mixed dogs to heop get them adopted lol. |

Well in my opinion 3 to 500 is a fair price a very mediocre lab pup sales for 4 to 800 a rottie goes for 500 up and these are just back yard dogs. If guys are some what serous bout there dogs they probly don't have a bunch of pups hanging around. If it's a high dollar dog or a mutt vet bills and feed are the same. If a guy won't pay few hundred for a good pup he probly won't take care of it and give it the right and fair chance to make a dog just some things I have seen

Good answer judge. Those are accurate prices on those breeds pups as well. Alot of folks dont realize what goes in to PROPERLY raising a litter. It gets expensive if its done the right way.

Ya you don't have to spend big money to get a good pup but I hear a lot off people say I won't pay that will that is fine when ya pay 100 buck dog has worms crooked jaw and fleas them comes with parvo you will spend 3 times that amount or have lost 200 plus gas and what ever else to prepare for a pup just don't make since those are the same guys that will want you to buy that same 100 dollar pup for 1200 at a yr old lol just what I have seen

$100 bill for a good grade blackmouth pup.
$200 for a sure nuff well line bred pup.
Anymore than that your to desperate to buy one.
All this mess about you can't raise them for that at six weeks old is feeding Cavier and Sirloin.

I would like to add.....that.....just because someone charges a high amount for pups they sell....sure is no guarantee that the pups will be 100% healthy and free of issues. Ive experienced this myself unfortunately.

Mrs la that's a fact it could happen to any pup from any one. The price on pups for the most part your paying for the mans time in the pups more than name breed or looks if they just thrown in a kennel tossed food and water ya they probly 100 buckers lol

And there is the difference!
Never charged anyone a penny for doing what I truly was passionate about.
When them ole cur dogs get to be a chore someone has to pay me for the time I put in em.......time to sell out.

I charged 250$ for my pups. I dont breed dogs. The last dogs i bred was 3 years ago. It was coon hounds and it was because i wanted a pup off my JAM UP COON DOG and my buddys AWESOME FEMALE. But i guess im one that charges for my time. Those coon hound pups were 250$ as well. But i look at it like this. I raise them until there 8 weeks old. I feed a somewhat high dollar feed. When the pups are old enough i start softening up a good quality puppy food and giving it to them twice a day. (I have to do this around my work schedule)...Give the mama dog vitamins and supplements to pass on to the pups through her milk. And not to mention the price of getting there regristration papers. Worm the pups 4 times before they leave. And shots. All that stuff adds up pretty quick. And my time is valuable to me. At 250$ i sure aint making a living off these pups. I just take pride in them and when a pup leaves my yard i feel good knowing that the buyer left with a good quality dog that i did everything i could do to insure the overall health and wellness of.

Not starting an argument gents.  But most of the things listed can be accomplished with an overall longevity of upkeep and health in your lines. Mamma gyp will feed em long enough until weening age. After that couple bags of good feed with some dry milk will get them ready to go. Complete worming and a booster shot and that's it boys. Anything over that is pure precautions or supplementing a weakness in the overall health of the line. Papers.........let's put that under luxury tax. I agree with you on that. That is completely for the buyer to compensate. But the issue on charging for your time ......just don't compute to me and never has. Only discussion gents......Only discussion. |

I completly understand your point of view. And thats is what the original question was all about. I wanted to see what other folks considered "fair" on there prices. I tell u what i wish u lived closer. You sure got some good looking dogs and i'd sure pay 100$ for one. But back to the topic. I know the mama dog gives them everything they need. That is the way the good lord designed them. I personally dont think giving them vitamins Has anything to do with the "line" of dog. I just like to help them along the way. They would be perfectly fine with or without it. I just like to "go the extra mile for my dogs and pups" . When someone gets a dog from me i just feel good telling them all i have done for it and ensuring them that to the best of my knowledge the dog is healthy and ready to be taken to the next level.

Papers don't mean much to me. Shots and supplements will never change weakness in a dogs line only better breeding will fix that shots and supplements prevent diseases and boost the over all health of the immune system if you will do research you will see the purer the line the weaker there immune system and the more long term health issues they will have just some things I have learned over the yrs

See there. Learn something new every day. That makes sense and i woulda never thought of it. But on the other hand i would do the same thing with the purest of dogs or dogs that were in no way shape or form kin to one another
