German Shepherd

Nationally, prices usually range from $1,500 to $2,500. While it may cost more up front, starting with a healthy puppy can help you avoid costly issues later. These ranges reflect the care behind responsible breeding and offer a reliable view of what ethical breeding really costs.



Any roster of heroic and famous dogs is dominated by German Shepherds. From early iconic movie stars Strongheart and Rin Tin Tin, to Buddy the first Seeing Eye dog, on to the thousands of GSDs deployed to fight in every American military action of the 20th century, German Shepherds have inspired, improved, and saved countless lives. As much as they’ve made an impact in so many public ways, their greatest contribution is no doubt is their role as a family protector and loyal companion to countless people. It’s no wonder they’ve been among America's most popular breeds for decades. Learn more
