Blue Merle Pomeranians

1k is $1000. You can get one with merle bloodlines for around $800, but to really make it worthwhile, you have to spend at least $1000.

why?? do you think that the more money the breeder charges the better the breeder is?? I have seen alot of breeders over charge IMO..

I think it's disgusting breeders charge so much. You shouldn't have to pay over $100 to get a dog, unless they're going to fully potty train, train it not to tear things up, and every trick in the book by the time you plan to buy it.

There's plenty of good dogs, if not better, in the shelter for as low as $15, plus you save a life and a soul.

I think $1000 is over pricing...I'm only paying $600 for my catahoula, plus another $100-200 for shipping. I think that's a very fair price for a good dog. I want to get a GSD in the future as well, but I can't find a breeder in my area that doesn't charge so much. The one in Vancouver charges $1200! Imagine the costs after I buy toys and food etc, and then they make me pay $1200? I'm looking in to another breeder in Salmon Arm.

PLENTY of good dogs are in the shelters, for MUCH less than what breeders charge.

[wolfsoul]

True, but I still think that 600 is a good price. I don't believe I'd pay anything higher than $850.

I would not pay more then $300 and even that is quit a bit, happy was $200 and misty was $100, Blair was free. some of the prices breeders charge are just rediculous someone was advertising mutts in the paper they wnated $500 for mixed breeds, I woul dnot pay that much for a pur bred for heaven sakes, and I know many people who say $400 is a HUGE stretch for a mutt yes the breeders do have to pay for a lot but $1000? I dont think so.

Well, when you're getting from a reputable breeder, I think that 500-850 or so is a good price. After all, my breeder feeds expensive foods, she pays to have all the dogs checked, she gets every puppy in a litter including the mother checked for any deafness (which is very expensive) etc. It all adds up.

I know you don't mean this to be, but I find this offensive. There are a LOT of good dogs out there that you can find w/o paying for them at all. Stray, homeless dogs, shelter dogs, and free puppies (not advocating BYB just using it as an example)
My greyhound cost me around $50 and was the best and sweetest dog I could have asked for. My Keegan didn't cost me anything and she is just as registered as a $1000 dog would be, tho she might not have the 'champion' behind her name, I don't care. IMHO unless you intend to show and be a responsible breeder paying that much for a dog is ridiculous. I know you aren't going to love it any more or any less then you would if you didn't pay that much. But I also understand that the CLD is rarer in Canada then in the States and if you have your heart set on that dog you will have to pay. But just b/c you pay that much, doesn't mean you are getting a 'good' dog.

Exactly.
