I work at a pet store where we sell purebred puppies with papers, 15 day general health and 1 year congenital/hereditary guarantees along with a free vet visit and up-to-date shots/wormings, The prices of our puppies range from $600-$3600 depending on the breed.People on a daily basis scoff at our prices because you can find puppies in the paper or on streetcorners for half that much. Granted we do still sell a large number of puppies.
You wouldn't belive how many people don't take the puppy to a FREE vet visit because it's out of the way or how many people that come in to say that the dog was killed by a coyote.
The number of people (mosty teen boys sadly) that come in looking for vicious dogs that they can train to kill is sickening. This is a small part (other than high risks of hip/knee problems) of why we don't buy Rotts, Pits or Dobies from our breeders.
Regardless of the price, there are people who will buy an animal and know nothing about them or who won't care for them.
