The cost of purchasing Cocker Spaniels!!!

[LurcherGirl]

When I got my sable American cocker, he was the same price as any of the others in the litter (black/tan, sable parti). My breeder was however offered £1000 for him by someone else and many other breeders advised her to charge more for the sables in the litter... which she refused!  So not all breeders are the same in that respect.

If so, that's not "over the odds" - I'd say anything from £600-£800 is within the normal price range for a KC reg pup from health tested parents.

I'd agree with this, I believe it is a fair and reasonable price.  Too "cheap" and you wonder what they have econimsed on, health test, feeding etc, too expensive and they are in it for the money.

We paid £650 for Dennis, which was £50 less than for bitches. I think its a fair price, though have heard less and heard more expensive

Hi

I would focus more on the breeding than colour.
I can understand that a KC pup with a full KC history can make a massive difference to the purchase price, but wouldn't have thought that colour would reflect such a variance in price.
My little "Black Beauty" cost £250 less than a chocolate pup we looked at but my puppy was bred from excellent stock and the proof is in the breeding.
