Question about dogs

[Kansas Kid]

I've been contemplating getting another dog since the little mutt we have now is starting to get some age on her.  She is a good dog, but way too small and timid for my taste.

 

What I want to buy is a male German Shepherd puppy.  So how much do you guys think I should expect to pay for a pure blood puppy?

[pacodiablo]

a lot

Na, you want a Great Pyrennes.  He ain't small, and while he isn't mean at all his bark is very intimidating to people he doesn't know.  He backed off all the people trying to TP my house both when I was in HS, and now that my sister is in it, not to mention all the strangers that show up.  Paid $150 for him, which is on the lower end of the price scale.  It all depends on if you want one with champion bloodlines, or just a good dog.  We just wanted a good dog, and got one.

It depends on the blood lines...

 

A good shepherd is gonna cost $400 on up!!!!  Remember you are making a friend for the next ten years of your life so $40/year is very little....

 

German Shepherds are great dogs!!!  They are protective and they can be docile with kids too....   Make sure you meet both parents (dogs) and take some people with you, so you can see how they react to more than one person...

I agree, they are great dogs. I had one(a female) and she was great for people, but had the size and bark to scare off unwanted trespassers. I often think about getting another one. Beautiful dogs and aren't very common.

Is that a dog or a horse?!  LOL

$40 a year to be Kyle's friend?  That's a little steep isn't it?

our golden retreiver was pretty expensive.

Sure is!  I normally have to pay people to be my friends, not the other way around....  ;)

Yeah, I think you owe me four cases of beer, or the monetary equiv. here in a month or so........

[Kansas Kid]

Sorry guys, but my friend with the long brown hair and a nice rack (just for you Digs ) gets the first shot at the money in my friendship account.  The rest of you can fight over what is left....

Depending on the Blood Line anywheres from $400 -$1500

Depends what you are looking for..... whatever you decide, training is the key, big dogs get a bad rap anyways.

 

I have a Rottie, paid $600, worth every penny

I would never own anything other than a Golden Retriever. They are the best dogs. Loyal, easy to train, good disposition. I had one for nine years and he was my best friend. About $400 to $600 from a good breeder. Don't buy from a petshop. They usually come from puppy mills and you never know what you're getting.

[pacodiablo]

We had a golden, they are great dogs.  I really bonded with ours, too bad she passed away     She was a real junkyard dog - we got her from the owner of a junkyard.
