What actually goes into the cost of a puppy from a reputable breeder? A financial breakdown of what goes into each puppy that comes out of a reputable breeding program. by Good Dog - Staff Once you choose to get a dog from a breeder, it’s helpful to arm yourself with facts, so you understand the cost of raising a litter of responsibly bred puppies. Costs vary widely across different breeds and specific litters. This article outlines the general costs and how much effort, work, and sacrifice goes into a litter. The price varies from program to program, but paying more money for a puppy that comes from a thorough and ethical breeding program can help save costs down the line.
Additionally, it’s important to support reputable breeders to weed out puppy mills, scams, and irresponsible programs. Not only will you ensure the health and safety of your puppy, but you’ll also be supporting an ethical program that truly cares about the well-being of their dogs.
Expenses can add up quickly for a reputable breeder. The average cost can vary depending on the area, but being a responsible breeder takes a lot of time, money, and dedication. Many breeders begin by traveling to AKC events where they have their dogs evaluated for quality; this process has the potential to cost thousands of dollars. Following that, stud services are around $1,500 if breeders don’t have a stud of their own. Stud services can also involve travel, overnight stay in hotels, gas, meals, driving, flying, or semen collection. Collectively, this entire process can add up to $4,500. Factor in that many breeders are taking time off of work to travel to a stud or take their bitch to the vet, and those lost wages can often come out at around $1,200.
A great deal of maintenance is required to make sure the mother of the puppies is comfortable and in good health. OFA and CERF certifications for health can cost around $430 for each prospective dam that will produce puppies. Getting several progesterone tests done is essential as well, so the breeder can pinpoint the accuracy of their timing for conception; these tests average out around $400. Bitches need to get regular health checks, as well as a test for a disease called Brucellosis.
If the bitch needs implantation or insemination after collecting sperm, this can cost up to $1,000. An ultrasound is necessary to check in on the status of the pregnancy, which can max out at around $150. Considering all goes well with the first attempt at breeding, implantation, or insemination, the total cost of breeding before the litter even arrives averages out at nearly $10,500.
In anticipation of the puppies’ arrival, a breeder will have to accumulate all the necessary supplies — including things like a heat mat, siphon bulb, clamps, heat milk, and a whelping box. The cost of this kind of preparation averages out at about $150 as well. Throughout the pregnancy, breeders invest in extra food, prenatal vitamins, and x-rays, all of which average out at around $250. The actual cost of birthing can reach up to $3,000 — especially if there are complications or if the dog has a c-section. Once the puppies arrive, litter registrations are $25 initially and then $2 per puppy. Premium food for the nursing mom and weaned puppies who are starting on solid food will cost nearly $600. Essential vet visits for the puppies can add up quickly as well — worming puppies costs around $250 when you factor in stool samples and medication. Shots for Parvo, distemper, and a regular vet visit will land around $400 depending on how many puppies are in the litter. Additionally, puppy care packages for new owners to take home. Other costs include emergency vet visits, missing work to deliver the puppies, replacing puppy toys and towels, home destruction, utility costs for added laundry and heating, communication with new buyers, and the 24/7 job of looking after a dam and her puppies — all of this can accumulate to nearly $1,600. Ultimately, the total cost of responsibly breeding a litter of puppies can range anywhere from $7,700 to $23,900.
Although it’s an expensive and time-consuming undertaking, the energy and thoughtfulness reputable breeders put into their puppies is the foundation of what will be a better world for dogs. It’s important to note that a high price tag does not always equate to a responsibly bred puppy. Scammers, puppy mills, and backyard breeders come in different sizes and prices, which is why it’s key to make sure you’re connecting with a good source. At the end of the day, investing a little more money into your puppy now could save you both in the future. You’ll also be supporting a breeder that pours a great deal of money, energy, time, and love into each puppy that comes out of their program.
