K9 prices............... - Page 1

Hello,

How are dogs priced? For example, a dog who passes the BH and SchH1 is priced at around $5,000.  what if the dog passes SchH2 or 3? How much will the price of the dog will be? Also does rating the dog increases its price?

Thanks,

Mike

There is no MSRP for dogs.  I can find someone selling a Sch1 for $3500 while another has one for $15000.  It is like a car.  They are not priced the same.  It all depends on the bells and whistles.  I wouldn't pay $5000 for a crumby 8 yr old Sch1.   

Kia cheap, Ferrari expensive.  Two different things.  

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

What are the bells and whistles that affect the price?

Well the dog's performances will change the price.  Titles and breed surveys.  Pedigree plays a part.  What level of dog it is.  Is it a club level, regional, national, or world level dog?  At what level has it been to?    How many bugs do you have to work out of the dog?    How old is it?  What are the Hip/elbow ratings? 

These are only some of the questions and things that will determine price.

Does it brush itself?

What are the bells and whistles that affect the price?

I thought going at the same time was the goal!  You women are impossible!

Well, please help me price a 5 years old stud SchH3, IPO3 , FH2 , V rated, Kkl 1 , 1x BSZS, 2x LGZS, 3x OGZS.

I'd say 20-30K USD
