Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
A serious and registered breeder remains the preferred source for obtaining an identified, socialized puppy, monitored from a health standpoint and accompanied by transparent documents. Adoption through an association can be an alternative when a dog of the breed is available.
