Why are source dogs SO expensive? We are lucky to get $100 out of High SOP pups and Titled dogs. What makes a source dog so Special to bring $4200.00 ????

They're not expensive in all breeds. It's based on the average balance of users active in that breed as well as the amount of dogs for sale.

Both of those are to prevent it from competing with other users in the breed trying to sell dogs.

Breeds that need help getting more activity have lower priced starter dogs...

Old English Sheepdog
Otterhound
Papillon
Manchester Toy Terrier
Mastiff
Miniature Pinscher
Irish Water Spaniel
Kuvasz
Lowchen
Lakeland Terrier
Puli
Saint Bernard
Scottish Deerhound
Scottish Terrier
Tibetan Terrier
Toy Poodle
Vizsla
Weimaraner
Briard
Bearded Collie
Bedlington Terrier
Belgian Sheepdog
Belgian Malinois
Affenpinscher
American Foxhound
German Shorthaired Pointer
English Toy Spaniel
Field Spaniel
Havanese
Ibizan Hound
Dandie Dinmont Terrier
Curly-Coated Retriever
Chinese Shar-Pei
Leonberger
Alaskan Klee Kai
Neapolitan Mastiff
Redbone Coonhound
Glen of Imaal Terrier
Plott
Dogue de Bordeaux
Azawakh
Bergamasco

All of those have $20 starters.

However, if you're in a breed with a lot of activity, they will be quite expensive.

You have to remember tho- the price will change (maybe within a day) depending on if there are any of those breeds on the sale page.

Today they may be 20.00, but tomorrow they may be at a higher price.

Yes, that is correct.

It changes based on how many dogs are for sale.

Purchasing starter dogs was never meant to be something that is done a lot.

It's the only place I am finding the White/cremes within the Shiba Breed. But that sticker price whew!! Guess that color will stay dormant for the time being.

In the American Kennel Club, a dog needs 15 points to become a Champion, with each win gaining anywhere from zero to five points depending on the number of dogs competing and the area where the show is held.
