Why puppies are so expensive?
Puppies are expensive based on their breed and whether they’re a designer breed or purebred. The general market also determines a puppy’s price. If there’s a lot of demand with little supply, then you can expect the cost of a puppy to increase.
Can you negotiate puppy prices?
You can always negotiate, but you may not be successful. If it is a popular breed and there are others willing to pay the asking price, then I don’t expect you to succeed. If you find someone having a hard time selling their puppies, then often they will lower the price.
What is the best age to pick out a puppy?
The answer of when to pick is whenever a breeder is comfortable with the pick, but most picks are made at six to eight weeks of age; while some breeders prefer to know during the first month.
Who gets first pick of the litter?
The first usage of the term pick of the litter refers to the right to choose first a puppy in the litter. In many cases, this right is in return for the stud. Pick of the Litter is a contractual and legal right to possess whichever puppy of a litter that person wants.
