The Great Debate: Pointing or Flushing Dogs for Quail

How much to puppies sell for?

Posted on Wednesday 31st December 1969 06:00:00 PM

I’ll occasionally get a phone call, text or email from someone asking how much money they should be asking for their puppies when listing them on Gundog Central. I have a ton of data that I’ve collected on dog prices over the years and decided to put together this quick list showing the average list price for puppies, by breed.

Below you’ll find the median list price for puppies, broken down by breed, over the past year. These are puppy prices only, it does not include started or finished dogs.
