Why are golden retriever dogs so expensive?

Are golden retrievers expensive? Nowadays, the price of a competition-level Golden Retriever puppy with a pure bloodline and a certificate will not exceed 5,000. Ordinary Golden Retriever puppies generally cost between 500 and 800. They are basically popular and famous dogs. How much does the Golden Retriever you are looking at cost? You call me expensive! !

The moderator has added to the question, so I will also add that I am from Baoding. The prices for golden retriever puppies in our pet stores and pet markets are all at the price I mentioned, and in the QQ group Q friends from all over the country have also talked about the prices of golden retrievers, which are almost the same. I don’t know where you are from. If you often visit the pet market, you don’t know that the asking price can be reduced, right? You have to be very brave when buying a dog on Taobao. I would be very lucky if a live one can be mailed to you. If the breed is right, you can buy one and give it a try. My colleague’s neighbor bought a "white Pomeranian" and it arrived by mail. It was already dying, and I really couldn't bear to mess with it anymore. After all, I bought it because I loved dogs. I spent more than a thousand to hospitalize it. Now it has grown to more than ten pounds. It is a pure white Chinese garden dog, which is quite cute.

From a market perspective, unless the price of a dog in the market is rare or worthy of speculation for some reason, the price of a popular dog will not exceed a thousand. Generally, the price will be a thousand or more, so as not to Scare you away, and then lower the price to 600 to 700 to close the deal. It is unlikely to sell at 500. After all, it is an exotic dog breed and it is on the famous dog list. It will not be sold for less than 500. There are also people who are fooled. Let me give you an example. About a year or two ago, I went to the pet market on the weekend. There was a man and a woman, dressed more fashionably. The woman saw a Satsuma and shouted excitedly: "This dog is so beautiful." "Ah, boss, what kind of dog is this? How much does it cost?" I didn't understand it at first glance, but I liked it. The boss asked for 3,000, and finally the deal was 2,600. He always hangs around there and is familiar with the dog dealers, so he has nothing to say. , In fact, just before they came, someone from Qingyuan just took away a pair for two thousand and five dollars, which was just the same litter as the one they wanted.

Let’s talk about the hype. There are many golden retrievers now. They cannot be considered rare and are not domestically produced, so there is no way to create myths. They use everyone’s patriotism to give them the reputation of Chinese divine dogs. Let’s say they are smart, but they are not as good as those outside. Shepherd, in terms of obedience, it is not as good as a German Shepherd. It is neither fierce nor very quiet, and its hair is long and difficult to take care of. Generally speaking, there is no reason to reasonably hype it, except for the descendants of famous competition-level dogs. , the price cannot be too high.

Having said so much, do you understand? You can use my words to bargain with dog dealers. Unless no one among you has a golden retriever, as long as there are, you can definitely get the price I mentioned.
