We've been talking about getting a golden lab for a while now.
Price seems to have quite a range here -- CDN$350-$900.
The low end of course looks like a bad idea; if there're pictures, they're usually not living in the house. Not my idea of how to raise a puppy. But, at the high end, a lot of the cost seems to be going to 'showing' championship labs.
I grant that a responsible, professional breeder probably will 'show,' but...but I don't need a show dog. Just a healthy, friendly family member.
Or does 'healthy, friendly' invariably mean 'a costly puppy from parents who are show dogs'?
I am, obviously, pretty green about the whole thing and will be doing more research before bringing anybody home...
Given how much better I feel about supporting responsible breeders, I suspect I'll be going with one of the $$$ pups; just want to figure out if I'm on the right track.
