Well, you can always ASK. Doesn't mean they won't say no. What is your reason for asking for a discount? Is there something wrong with the puppy, or not in the breed standard?

Thats double what I paid. Where is the breeder? Mine was in the midwest region of the US.

What type of GSD is this?

Hmmm, most good GSD in my area run from about $1300 to 1700. Why is this pup so much? Are you having him shipped and that is part of the cost?

You can ask for a discount but I doubt you will get it.

Thanks to all. The breeder is Atlanta Working Dogs | German shepherd breeders | German shepherd puppies | Protection dogs | Obedience trained puppies| , this breeder had 2 Dam and 2 Sire from Mittelwest German Shepherd puppies for sale, German Shepherd Dogs for sale, Titan and Odin. Titan' pups will be $3k including house, crate and basic obedience. Odin' pup will be $2800 including house, crate and basic obedience. I will come to Atlanta for pick up.

I agree, that is alot of money!! It never hurts to ask!! She might give you some money off if no one else wants to buy the dog and the breeder has had it for a while....but then you risk losing the dog!

That's way too much for a GS puppy, even if it's 'house trained', crate trained, and has it's basic obedience down. You can do all three of those yourself for way less then $1500 IMO (I'm assuming an untrained pup is $1500 and it's $3000 for a 'trained' one). Those are some nice looking sires/dams though. I doubt they'll give you a discount, but it never hurts to ask.

Actually that's not really an unheard of price for a German Showline Puppy. I know people who have dogs from Mittelwest that paid what I consider extravagant for a discounted coated dog.

You can ask for a discount. You might even get it if the breeder is having difficulty moving the puppies in this economy for that price and is impressed with you as a potential puppy owner. However, on the other end they most certainly may say No and be turned off of you as a puppy owner for asking. Just depends on the breeder and the situation.

Showline puppies are more expensive. They seem to run about $3000. Looks like they have some really nice dogs.
