K9 prices............... - Page 2

Compare similar dogs and prices.  consider where your selling.  Then consider supply and the demand.  Then consider how bad you want to sell against the most you could ask.   There is no real formula for pricing other than supply and demand.   is what your offering hard to find or rare?    I see people asking high prices but that doesnt mean they are selling anything.   good common sense comes in handy.

I dunno parts of my family are in the used car business.   salesmanship is everything.  and smart advertising.

Ask what you think it will bring and see if you get any takers.

If you can not see the dog in person DO NOT BUY!

If you do not know these people well DO NOT BUY!

No breeder will sell their best dog. 

Good luck

you also need to consider retail vs wholesale. if you go to a borker and say i want a bi color male w/ a sch.3 that can live in the house w my cats. you'll pay a decent price.  but if you happen to here about the same dog  thru a friend you'll get a better price.

also if you say i want this dog now vs being willing to wait a few months.

are you buying or selling??

If one seeks exceptional dogs  the price will reflect on the quality .

I  personally bought dogs with BH's  for $5000 .

Quality has it's price thats the bottom line . I rather spend more on a quality animal then spend less and end up with a marginal animal  or average .

The key is to deal with importers or contacts  that  would sell you marginal  for a high quality price !!
