Some people just do it because they love puppies and don't register any of them even though they could and get more money. Just need to spend some time and keep an eye out.

it just doesn't make sence. it cost under 20 bucks to regester a dog as a private individual, if you are a breeder doing 2 or more of a litter it is even cheeper. why would they discount 300 to 800 bucks to save 20?
usaly if they don't register them it is because they can't.

We have friends that have a couple of goldens and they may be the smartest dogs I know. They are not guard dogs but very loyal and willing to please. Dogs can only be trained as much as the owner is able to train them. They do love to wag their tails tho, which is always a concern but one that can be adjusted to.

I have looked up on grcab and talked to a few of the people there. Still looking for more tho. What is a fair price for a registered purebred? Most are $1200, which seems steep to me.

I paid 1k and as you go towards van it goes up to 1.5 so 1.2 around Edmonton doesn't seam unreasonable although I would have expected higher

If you want it registered to breed registered puppies then expect to pay a lot. If you don't want to breed it then I wouldn't worry about a piece of paper as the dog really doesn't care what the paper says anyway and spend less than half.

It kills me to see that kind of price too. I have papered Border Collies, they cost anywhere from $300 -$500 with no breeding restrictions.

Maybe they need to breed some blonde Border Collies so they can charge more for them.

I can find unregistered dogs for $300-600 but they are backyard breeders and i just feel leery about trusting someone who has no clue about the history of their own dog.

yup, we should have got one of them. we paid 1000 with a no breeding restriction (there is actualy a 5000.00 buck fine if I do breed him) , fully papered and regestered though. and that was cheep in Van for the same thing you pay 1500 to 2000. but eveything cost more in vancouver.
