Re: Typical price of Labrador puppies?

If I ever did get a Lab pup, it would be from her, she's on another forum I use and keeps posting photos of gorgeous little black babies!
Anyway, I won't distract from the thread. I certainly wouldn't pay £950 for a puppy Dan!

There are, without a doubt, a minority of ethical breeders charging around £400 for a Lab pup, however, I wouldn't want to mislead anyone into thinking that's the norm, because it certainly isn't in my experience. And I also wouldn't want to mislead puppy buyers into thinking that a price is something that warrants quality, or lack of, buying a pup should be about research and coming to the decision that a *litter* is of the right breeding for what you want, if so, then price is pretty much immaterial.

Or something that comes with age with them?  Saying that though, one we walk with regularly is only just over 12 months old so can't be an age thing.
Genuinely not meaning any offense here, I'm honestly interested  |

He's really persistent for treats and I feel mean not giving him any so I always just let him have one* and then try to ignore the dreaded "puppy eyes"
