Nelson was from a good breeder - £650
Benson is adopted through Rescue

Pups from parents that have had all relevant tests, KC reg etc will be around £500 - £800

I'm devastated to see so many Rotts advertised now for anything from £150 - but that aside the Rescues are bulging too

Labradors (working/trialling strain)

We have paid between £350 and £800 depending on the pedigree.

English springer spaniels (working/Trialling strain)..between £250 and £350.

We sell our lab pups at £450 - £500 ..thats taking into account all the breeding costs..stud fee's are usually around £350 -£500 , so pretty much the cost of a pup.

theres no rare colors with a staff cause theres so many of them ! the fact is every concil estate in the uk got staffs on it ! as for fawn bull terriers not being rare sallyanne go on epupz or pets at home and see if you can find one fawn bull terrier with a black mask ! you wil find most other colors but not fawn with a black mask ! And she has bloodlines from credeta wich speaks for it self !

I wasn't having a go,just saying we have breeders advertising "Rare" when there not.
I'm not going to comment on the council estates bit!

I am curious what makes for such wide variations in the price of well bred health tested pups in many of the breeds. Do breeders and breed clubs in these breeds not work together to form a common pricing policy.

In my breed we do all tend to network and find that having the same price or no more than say £50 difference for extras provided that it makes things easier when sharing out puppy enquiries, as nature rarely arranges for the right number or sex of pups born even when you have a full waiting list and singing from the same hymn sheet makes sense.

We also don't differentiate stud prices as we need dogs used to keep the gene pool broad and a dog should not be used based on price. Be the dog a first tiemer or a proven top sire the price is the same, normal puppy price.

Doesn't it cause problems for buyers and breeders having such wide price range for good quality pups?
