I'm just curious as to how prices for registered puppies vary throughout the
world?
I am in the UK and paid this year, £1850 for a SC bitch, £1100 for a LC bitch
and £850 for a SC dog. (US dollar is roughly that x 2). They were all from
different reputable breeders and all deigned for the show ring, although the SC
bitch (of course the most expensive) has gone undershot so she'll neither be
shown nor bred from.
These prices are about average in the UK although it's actually quite difficult
to get established breeders to sell to you when you state from
the off that you want to breed and show. (You can often find "pet" puppy owners
who have decided to breed from the their pet but that wasn't what I wanted.) I
got references from my Chow puppy owners and other fairly well known people in
the Chow breed to vouch for my breeding integrity etc. It took me about 12
months of being seen at the shows and keeping in touch with people before I got
a breeder to sell to me, although admittedly, I only wanted them from certain
breeders.
I just wondered about the availability of Kennel club registered pups in other
countries?
