I think it is mostly about which country the breeder lives in, 600 Euro might be OK in for example Poland and 2000 Euro might be OK in USA or Scandinavia

But yes 2500 Euro is not a OK price for any normal Cs Vlcak litter I think.

As simply a pet owner and not a breeder, here are my thoughts..

I am ok to pay 1000 euros for a puppy from parents I like. I would pay even more for a proven adult.

I do think that 1000 euros for each puppy in a medium litter lets the breeder gain a little, like someone else said, if I exclude regular things like food or training, which a person should provide anyway.

But, the biggest thing for me is that I assume that the breeder will take that surplus and apply it to other future breeding expenses, such as importing a new female, which makes it possible for our breed to continue healthily. In other words, I think of it like supporting the breeder's dream or vision for the breed.

Of course, this does not apply to breeders that are just breeding one or two litters for fun..

Just my thoughts.
