Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
For a responsible acquisition, it is advisable to favor a breeder that is transparent about the parents’ health, the puppies’ socialization and living conditions, or an animal welfare association able to clearly present the dog’s background.

A price that seems too good to be true?
- A herding dog needs real exercise: don’t buy one just for looks.
- Ask for the breeders’ screening tests and the socialization conditions.
- A very low price without documents should raise suspicion of a poorly monitored breeding operation.
