Elvis was free! I got him from a very nice woman who was going to give him to a shelter because she couldn't find the time anymore to care for him. So I got a beautiful 5 year old AKC registered golden for $0!

Buddy was a pet store dog (I know...) and he was $1200. Worth every penny even if he is a jerk sometimes :P

Hiro was free, a friend was going to just let him loose on the streets and I said I'd take him instead.

I paid $500 for Ellie. Yes, she was a rescue, but I'd rather have paid for her than for her to stay one more day in the life she was living. Never looked back.

Barley was $550!

We got our first golden "Buddy" (June 2000-January 2012) from a BYB for $300. He was a wonderful dog, with a great sense of humor, and we miss him every day.

We got Finlay from a wonderful breeder, and paid $1300. He is such a sweetheart, and so much fun. I could not imagine our home without him

Just listing the GRs we actually paid for:

Belle in early 80s was $25.00 from what people call here BYB. Smart and wonderful in the field. Put many other dogs to shame in the field.

Trooper in early 90s was over $500 from reputable breeder, both parents were titled, had all the clearances. He was a full bag of health issues from hips to allergies to seizures. Ended up spending tens of thousands. Don't regret it, glad we could do it. What I do regret is that with him my DH has given up on training.

Rose - in 2012 - $650 asking price, I paid $750 because I believed the breeder was worth more than what was charged.
