Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
In practice, the most reassuring acquisition goes through a serious breeder clearly declaring its origins and its health tests. Other channels may be cheaper, but require even more vigilance regarding the health condition, socialization and traceability of the puppy.

Your questions about price
Answers to common questions from prospective owners.

Health screenings of breeding dogs, the breeder's reputation, the quality of the lineage, the puppy's socialization and the relative rarity of the breed strongly influence the price.
