"How much is a Doberman puppy?" is one of the first questions buyers ask. The honest answer has two parts: the purchase price and the cost of raising a large, active dog.
What affects a Doberman puppy's price
- Parents and health testing. Documented heart, hip, thyroid, and DNA testing of the parents adds real cost for a breeder.
- Registration and pedigree. Registration paperwork and documented pedigrees affect price.
- Veterinary care before go-home. Exams, vaccinations, and deworming.
- Location and demand. Prices vary by region and season.
- What is included. Guarantees, starter supplies, and support.
Our price
Our current listed price is $650 per puppy, shown on every puppy page. Delivery, if you need it, is quoted separately in writing. See Doberman puppy prices for exactly what is included.
Delivery costs
Pickup in Billings, Missouri costs nothing extra. Ground delivery and in-cabin flight nannies are priced by distance, route, and season — your quote comes in writing before you agree to it. Read delivery & pickup.
First-year ownership costs
Plan for food, veterinary visits, parasite prevention, spay or neuter, a crate and supplies, training classes, and possibly pet insurance. Together these commonly add up to well over the purchase price in the first year. Our ownership cost table gives typical ranges.
About very cheap listings
