Designer breeds like the German Shepherd Poodle mix can be expensive. However, since these pups come with hybrid vigor and a host of other desirable traits, they are well worth the price.
So just how much does a Shepadoodle cost? A Shepadoodle costs between $1,000 to $3,000. This cost can vary from breeder to breeder. If you want specific traits such as a particular eye or coat color, the cost may be even higher. For Shepadoodles with a superior pedigree, the cost can be as high as $6,000.
Here are some of the factors that impact the cost of Shepadoodles.
Breeder
The cost of a Shepadoodle will vary from breeder to breeder. High-quality breeders that specialize in show quality dogs will on average be more expensive than backyard breeders and shelters. However, when you buy from a reputable breeder you can be certain of the pedigree of your Shepadoodle.
Coat color
One of the most distinctive features of the Shepadoodle is the hypoallergenic fluffy coat. This coat comes in a variety of colors with some being more common than others.
Shepadoodle puppies with black or black with white coats are generally cheaper since these colors are common in Shepadoodles. Puppies with rare coat colors such as red with white or chocolate will generally cost more.
Location
Shepadoodles are a rare crossbreed and with the increase in their popularity, their demand is quite high. This means that in some areas, prices can be quite high.
You may find that breeders in your location have long waiting lists for Shepadoodle puppies. In such cases, you can expect to pay between $3,000 to $6,000.
