From what I have seen...its $1,000-1,500 for pups with all papers and shots....depending on markings

If you are just looking for a puppy to have as a pet and companion you won't have to pay as much. While having papers is best--to insure that your dog has good genes and will not be succeptable to genetic problems--wonderful dogs can be found without it. Make sure you see the parents and the home in which they were raised in order to get an idea of the health of your dog. The average Doberman puppy without papers may cost bewteen $300.00 and $700.00.

I paid about 350 for my dobe and he is a purebred, but without papers. So if the papers are important then you could pay ALOT more. There is such a wide range in prices even with papers it really is all up to you. How much you're willing to look and whether the paper thing is a must for you.

my 2 dobies was imported from Berlin Germany, And i paied $2,300 for my bitch and$2,000 for my male INFORMATION TO BE AWARE OF BEFORE PURCHASING A DOBERMAN PINSCHER Before you do anything, do some research into the breed to see if it is, in fact, the breed for you! Dobermans aren't for everyone - don't feel bad if you end up deciding they aren't appropriate for you! If you feel certain the Doberman is for you, contact your national kennel club who will be able to provide you with breeder lists. In the US, the nation kennel club is the American Kennel Club . In Canada, the national kennel club is the Canadian Kennel Club. Even better than this, contact the national breed clubs for more information on breeders. In the US, the national breed club is the Doberman Pinscher Club Of America. In the US, there is also the UDC (United Doberman Club) which has a focus on the working aspect of the breed. In Canada, the national breed club is the Doberman Pinscher Club Of Canada. **please note, a breeder's membership in any of the above listed clubs is not a guarantee of responsible and ethical breeding** Although many breeders have private web sites of their own, most reputable breeders do NOT use sites such as the Yahoo or Excite classifieds to advertise their puppies. Most reputable breeders do not advertise in Dog Fancy or Dog World. Many reputable breeders don't even advertise in the classifieds section of the newspapers! Reputable breeders tend to advertise in specific publications which reach select audiences (which may not be fair but that is the way it is). Finding a breeder is relatively easy. Finding a good one by doing your research and asking questions is the hard part! Always verify any information a breeder gives you. *Ask at what age the breeder will let the puppies go to their new homes. Responsible breeders keep puppies until they are at least 8 weeks old. Some states actually have laws against selling puppies prior to 8 weeks of age. Important socialization is being learned and taught during that time. Puppies that are taken too early from their littermates and mother often have trouble and issues later. *Ask what health testing was done on the sire and dam of the litter. The Doberman fancy is working very hard to eliminate the genetic diseases that are harming our breed. Yearly shots & a vet's "okay" are NOT an equivalent or substitute for health testing. Responsible Doberman breeders today, in general, are testing for hip and elbow dysplasia, von Willebrand’s disease (vWD), thyroid disease, genetic eye disease, normal cardiac function, and normal liver function. Hips and elbows Responsible breeders send their dog’s hip and elbow x-rays to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) for evaluation. Ask the breeder for OFA hip/elbow results. This can be verified through the OFA database. Breeders may also elect to register results of other health testing with the OFA. Currently the OFA registers results of thyroid testing by approved laboratories, cardiac testing by approved evaluators and vWD DNA tests by VetGen. Another method of evaluating hips is the PennHip method. A breeder may have PennHip ratings rather than OFA ratings. In Canada, some breeders choose to have their dogs’ hip x-rays evaluated by the Ontario Veterinary College. Hip and elbow evaluations are normally done once in the lifetime of the dog. Von Willebrand’s disease There are 2 companies in the US offering vWD DNA tests. vWD is a bleeding disorder. It is imperative that Dobermans be tested for this as we are now able to eliminate this disease by testing and breeding carefully. By testing the parents of a litter, a breeder can usually tell you what vWD status the puppies will have. Many breeders will also have an Elisa blood assay test done on their Dobermans which determines clotting ability. DNA tests for vWD are only required once in the lifetime of the dog. Elisa blood assay test results can change and vary throughout the lifetime of the dog. Breeders may test more than once per lifetime for this. Thyroid Thyroid testing is normally done routinely on Dobermans by responsible breeders. Thyroid results can vary with age. It is recommended that routine thyroid tests begin around 18 months of age and continue every 12-18 months throughout the lifetime of the dog. A full thyroid panel should be completed on any breeding dogs. A full thyroid panel measures Total Thyroxine (TT4), Total Triiodothyronine (TT3), Free T4 (FT4), Free T3 (FT3), T4 Autoantibody, T3 Autoantibody, and canine Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (cTSH). The thyroid impacts many of the body’s most important organs. Thyroid testing should not be overlooked. Eyes Dogs can be examined for the presence of inheritable eye disease by CERF certified canine ophthalmologists. CERF stands for Canine Eye Registration Foundation. Eye testing is something that must be done yearly – a CERF certificate is valid only for one year. Ask the breeder when was the last date and result of CERF eye testing. This can be verified through the CERF database.One of the heritable conditions that afflicts some Dobermans is PHPV. Heart Dilated cardiomyopathy continues to be one of the biggest problem in Dobermans today. Annual cardiac ultrasounds and electrocardiograms are a must, especially for breeding dogs. Holter monitoring (a 24 hour ecg) is now available worldwide. Liver Many breeders are starting to recognize the importance of annual liver panel testing due to the fact that Chronic Active Hepatitis can be a problem in the Doberman breed. *The breeder will be ready, willing, and able to show proof of all such tests and the results. You should not have to pay for this. In addition, responsible breeders will keep you advised throughout the lifetime of your puppy about the ongoing health of the parents and of the siblings. They are also likely to seek out information about your puppy to help them make future breeding decisions. *Beware of breeders who tell you that their Dobermans are guaranteed free of cardio (dilated cardiomyopathy) and/or CVI (Cervical Vertebral Instability). There is no genetic test to screen for Cardio or CVI (aka Wobbler's disease) at this time. *Avoid breeders who purposely breed "OVER-SIZED", "GIANT" or "KING" Dobermans. Some even call them "GENTLE-GIANTS" or "WARLOCKS". Dobermans were NOT meant to be a large size, and when they are purposely bred as such, it jeopardizes their health in many ways, regardless of what the breeders of these Dobes tell you. A very general rule is that the larger the dog, the shorter the lifespan. Bigger is NOT better in this case. Reputable, responsible breeders breed according to the standard for the breed. American standard dpcabreedstandard.htm The Canadian standard is slightly different. Remember that conformation to the breed standard is a basis for good health! A dog built properly is less likely to suffer from athletic injuries such as joint pain and poor shock absorption, and also less likely to have dysplasia problems. *Do the sire and dam come from lines with any Longevity Certification (LC) or Bred For Longevity (BFL) certification issued by the DPCA? http://www.silverdobes.westhost.com/longevity/ The breeder should be able to provide you with ages and causes of death of many/most of the dogs in a 5 generation pedigree. You will probably want to avoid purchasing a puppy from a pedigree of many early and/or unexplained deaths. *What are the AKC or Canadian Kennel Club [CKC] registered names of the sire & dam? *Will be puppies be registered with the AKC/Canadian KC? ***Note*** Breeders in Canada are fully responsible for registering the puppy at their expense. A breeder from Canada who says you can buy the dog cheaper without papers is breaking FEDERAL LAW. Also, note that the American Kennel Club and the Canadian Kennel Club are reputable kennel clubs. There are several other registries operating now that are a complete joke - they "register" dogs that are not purebred. *How old was the sire and dam at the time of the breeding? Health tests such as hip and elbow evaluations can NOT be definite until the animal is at least 2 years of age. Dobermans are a breed that is not fully mature until at least 2 years of age. Breeding before that time is considered unethical by many. *How often does the breeder produce litters? One, possibly two litters a year is more than enough in this writer’s opinion. Any more than that and it becomes very difficult to provide a high standard of care for the puppies and for their owners. *Do the sire and dam come from pedigree lines that are free of albino or albino-factored Dobermans? *Albino/albino-factored Dobermans are mistakenly referred to, or sold, as whites, white-factoreds, creams, cremellos or rare Dobermans. **DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS!!** A breeder of albino/albino-factored Dobermans is purposely breeding and selling dogs with a known birth defect. Albinism is a birth defect and there can be many extra health considerations to these unfortunate Dobermans. **To anyone considering the purchase of a Doberman, be absolutely sure the puppy/dog does NOT carry the gene for albinism. In the US, look for a "Z" on the AKC blue slip of the puppy/dog. A "Z" at the beginning of the litter registration number identifies puppies/dogs that WILL produce a litter resulting in albino or albino-factored Dobes. Ethical breeders DO NOT breed for this. They do not purposely breed for a genetic defect! Make sure the Dobes are "Z" free. Unfortunately, Canada has no such tracking system in place. Doberman Pinschers come in four accepted colors - black and rust, red and rust, blue and rust, and fawn (Isabella) and rust. The blue color is a dilute of the black, the fawn color is a dilute of the red. See colorinheritance.htm. Before considering the purchase of a blue or a fawn Doberman, it is important to know that many (not all) of these dogs may suffer from coat problems ranging from slight to severe. They are prone to a problem called Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA). Many blues and fawns are nearly bald as adults. A recent article in Doberman Digest suggests that as many as 93% of blues and 75% of fawns may have CDA.
