I'm sorry I don't know. Try calling around.
Does it really matter if your rottie is a pure breed or not? It wouldn't make me love my rottie any less. And I don't know how I could possibly love her anymore than I already do...
Edit:
DNA test. The previous question was "How can i tell if my rottwieler is a pure breed?"

No markings-->It's not a purebred. Sorry, he got screwed by a guy he trusted. If he is seriously attached to the pup, sees it has a good tempermant, and can take the monetary loss of $400, he should keep the pup. He ought to at least confront the man--he's getting away with misrepresenting what he is selling. I had a similar story. Almost 8 years ago, I saw an ad for "rottie pups AKC German bloodlines $100". I was going on 12, I wanted a rottie, my family was on government assistance. I knew I should have gone to a good breeder even then (I frequented the AKC dog shows), but I knew my parents would not fork over $100 for a dog. Anyways, I talked the seller down to $50, I paid $25; my dad paid the other half. The supposed parents were SWEET. The breeder claimed she didn't have the papers yet. I would call again and again to ask for the papers or at least the parents' number--to no avail. Breeder finally left town without notice. To this day, I still have that pup. And I love her so much, I am afraid to study abroad for fear I won't be there for her last days if she were to go prematurely. So whatever matters to your son...

Call more than one vet. There are lots of different blood tests and I'm sure it will depend on what you are testing for. And prices do vary with each vet. Even call your local ASPCA they often have onstaff vets with great rates. And they like it when people are doing everything they can to take care of their animals.
My dogs have wellness insurance policies and that is the best investment I made every month. One trip to the vets is often more than what I pay for the whole year in insurance.

To find out if it is a purebred? Upwards of $300, easily. Even then, he shouldn't be bred unless his parents are AKC registered... sorry!
EDIT: Cave Canam... you are not the first person I have heard to have these issues. Someone on here with a purebred got the test done just for the heck of it and it came back as being mixed with all of these odd breeds (chihuahua, poodle, etc) and it was, I think, a shepard or am staff or something...

Depends on the type of testing being done, the amount of blood drawn, whether your vet will charge an office visit for the draw, where in the country you're located, where in the state you're located (cities tend to be higher than country), and so on.

You mean to do the DNA test like in your previous question? Honestly, don't waste your money. I sent in a sample to get my Malinois/German shepherd tested and he came back with no primary or secondary breeds, only Bernese Mountain Dog "in the mix." Does this look like a Bernese Mountain Dog to you?

It varies. There are many different blood tests which look and test for different things. There are heartworm tests, allergy tests, tests for values, such as kidney, liver, or thyroid. It just depends what you need and what your vet charges.

It's not just a blood test, it is a DNA test. I think they're under $100

depends on what kind of blood test you want?
Is it for heartworm? Titers? DNA test?
