I had a border collie once, but she ran away

When I got my dog as a puppy, she was only $20! I got a good deal!

Wow! I paid $300 for my lab mix. I think I paid the same for my boxer when I got her. But I was friends with the people who I got her from.

Wow! Labs are pretty expensive, I had a lab once, she was $300!

But I had to get rid of her because she would chew up everything! She barked a lot too

They can be expensive because of all the things you need to do with the Vet...vaccinations, heartworm, flea & tick meds...etc. Just because of their weight. But I wouldn't trade her for anything. It's true that Labs love to chew, you have to make sure when they are puppies/teenagers that they don't have anything around them that they aren't allowed to chew on, plus make sure they have several things that they CAN chew on. Kalia chewed on a wooden chair leg even though she had plenty of chewing toys/bones, etc. I just covered it with foil and she left it alone. There has really only been a couple of things that she chewed that she wasn't supposed to, but only when she was in that stage (puppy/teenager). Now, she is 4 years old, and it's probably been at least a couple of years since she chewed on something she's not supposed to. She's still a big chewer, but we have lots of things she can chew on, Kongs to keep her busy, etc when we aren't home with her.

She is a Chocolate Lab/Catahoula mix.

for a well-bred, health tested, temperament proven lab, $500 would be a steal. Closer to $1000 is more the typical price range, with many being well above that. especially if you live in a more expensive area.

That's why I prefer my working line GSDs. A showline dog, especially a West German bloodline, is around $3000 at 8 weeks old. And the price goes up from there. Makes my Czech boys look like a real steal at $1200!

Sorry, I just spend a lot of time on various dog rescue groups, am involved with networking breed specific (GSD) rescues and basically all my free time is dogs. You wouldn't believe the number of people who decide to make those fantasies a reality. And simply on the basis of "I have a girl dog. Your dog is a boy. Puppies are cute."
