All boxers are beautiful ! The dogs that cost nothing give the same amount of love and have the same great personality than one that cost 5,000. By the way, your baby is beautiful!!!!!

Well your girl is adorable, but 1200 IS a reasonable price for a boxer from health tested and champion parents, which is all reputable breeders breed, unless there was an incident or accidnet causing a dog not to be shown or the dog is in the process of being shown, etc., but even then it will have had health tests; however, $4000.00 is a rediculous price unless it poops gold. A truly professional and reputable breeder rarely makes even what they spent back on selling quality pups for $1200.00. The REAL health testing costs thousands of dollars for each dog, the vet care, oftentimes surgery like C-section for the birth, and the aftercare, tail docking, and feeding of all the pups and mom. So yes it is expensive if done right.

So I saw this thing about a reasonable price for a boxer from a reputable breeder being $1200 and I told this guy that that definetly isn't a reasonable price and he continues to tell me that these reputible breeders he got his boxer from charge $4000 .......


Actually in our area the breeders that do the testing are charging a minimum of $1000 for companion dogs. For show dogs I would expect more. I suppose the pricing is effected some by what the market bears.

I have been looking for about a month now, and most AKC (not champion) breeders are asking $400-600 for puppies.

I did contact this one breeder that said she had champion blood lines, she did all the health tests, etc. and she charged $1,100. She also said that a health gaurantee is just one way for breeders to get people to buy puppies and that most people over immunize puppies, that she only does it at 8 weeks.

I thought if you charge $1100 and you don't gaurantee the puppy and you don't immunize good luck selling your pups!
