Answer
Prices vary.  Did you buy from a reputable breeder.  I have seen people pay thousands to pet shop for puppy mill dogs.  When they could of bought from a reputable breeder, where the parents were champions and certificied clear (CERF, OFA) of all the breeds big genetic problems.  A 1 yr warrenty is not much good.  The breeds big genetic problems like cataracts will occur between 2 & 8 yrs of age.
