Are golden retrievers expensive

Answer 1

It depends on where you purchase all your items. Golden Retrievers are obviously more expensive then smaller dogs because they need more food, water and grooming (if long haired.) Some vets charge more for bigger dogs because they need more vaccinations or medical attention if an illness occurs. Breeders are usually more expensive than pet shops, but breeders usually offer healthier dogs. They are fairly easy to take care of. They are not usually picky eaters and their stomachs do not get upset very often. So, the expense of a Golden Retriever is moderate. Vet bills are probably the most expensive thing to worry about. Dogs do need to be spayed or neutered, and they need annual shots/vaccinations. The costs will depend on the vet you go to. Overall, Golden Retrievers are easy to care for, moderately expensive, friendly and beautiful dogs.

Answer 2

well, my golden retriever was 450$ and the lady said that was cheap!

I bought a golden retriever for 500 but it took me forever to find one that cheap. Most are about 600-700 dollars. It depends on where you get one. I rescued one, a purebred, and it only cost us $80

Answer 3

It depends on if its from a breeder or a pet store and if its parents were champions. A golden retriever from a pet store might be around $900
