Fleischer, any breeder for that matter, can ask any price they want for a dog or puppy; only a newbie or someone with more money than sense will pay $10K for a puppy. That is the target market for a $10K puppy.

The price is ridiculous for any puppy...unless it poops gold. $2000 is the maximum I see for the litter of this quality but Ober's progeny should be generally discounted as compared to other and better VA producers. The plan of introducing new blood into VA lines in 2010 and picking Ober to be VA1 backfired as he produced nothing remarkable to date. So just because the dog is a VA dog, it does not mean anything. We must look at the progeny, siblings and lines such dog comes from and then consider the entire picture to make our decision, which in best case is an educated guess and our hope for the best. As a side note, I have Ober's daughter with perfect hips and elbows that is not breed worthy. She will be going to a pet home after her spaying procedure.

Hmmm, sounds like I need to find some newbies or people with more money than sense! I could sure use some cash! LOL
Keith's question is an interesting one that I, too, would like the answer to.

But those are much diffrent I think, they are something different or rare. GSD puppies aren't rare. They're everywhere and most of them grow up to be a loved house pet at best. SHow me a litter of puppies at 10K and I can show you 100 litters for a tenth or less of the price that are the same or better.
if some fool wants to spend that, go for it. I doubt they'll ever know or care just how big of an idiot they are for doing so.

We are such a selfish society......it is obscene how we treat the the growing population of the poor among us.
To get this back on topic - GSD puppies are for sale everywhere for all prices, no shortage of GSD's in any part of the US as far as I know.

PS: I am not a big fan of showlines and when such puppies are sold for $3K etc., I am certainly not impressed. When they start asking for $10K etc for a pup, it would be difficult to not laugh.

My honest opinion I would never buy a GSD puppy for 10k a fully trained dog sure, however if your heart is set on a particular dog for whatever reason and you have the money then hell if it makes you happy.
