Labrador Retriever cost

What is the average cost for a Labrador Retriever in NY? When I got my
lab about 11 years ago, I only paid $700. Just wondering what it is
nowadays.

Thanks!

You might have better luck over in alt.pets.dogs.labrador... but...

Cost varies tremendously, and is not necessarily an indicator of quality of
the dog. I got my guy 2 years ago for $700 Canadian, but at the same time I
know of people who paid twice that. Erwin is a wonderful guy and I'm
constantly getting comments about how healthy he looks, and how handsome he
is.

On the other hand I know of pet stores that sell 'lab-type' puppies for over
$1000.

Our latest addition, was $200 from the humane society (he's a pure bred,
registered lab).

My advice, find a breeder you like, and then pay what they ask. In the long
run, the cost of the dog is negligable.

Hope that helps
