Price and budget
# How much does a Australian Shepherd puppy cost?
United States
The price of an Australian Shepherd varies mainly depending on the quality of the selection, the health tests of the breeding dogs, the reputation of the kennel and the potential of the line. A consistent price normally comes with good follow-up, clear identification and precise information on the screenings carried out.
Purchase price
## It all depends on where your puppy comes from
To adopt under good conditions, it is better to favor a serious breeder, transparent about health and socialization. Other channels may seem cheaper at first, but more often expose you to health or behavioral risks.

| --- | --- |
| Non-LOF breeding Quality varies greatly depending on how rigorous the selection is. | €800 – €1,300 |
| Association or shelter Adoption fee generally lower, depending on age and profile. | €250 – €450 |

## A price that seems too good to be true?
- Beware of listings without parents’ health screening results or clear traceability.
- A coat color should never, on its own, justify an excessive surcharge.
- Double merle should be avoided due to the associated health risks.
FAQ
## Your questions about price
Answers to common questions from prospective owners.
### Why does the price of an Australian Shepherd vary so much?
The differences mainly come from health tests, the quality of socialization, the breeder's reputation, the pedigree, and sometimes the rarity of certain lines or colors.
### Is a low price a good deal?
Not necessarily. A very low price can hide the absence of screenings, insufficient socialization, or unsatisfactory breeding conditions, with a risk of higher subsequent costs.
