Well, grin mine is just $995 (if I may Rick) for a dog that now, from a trainer, would be pushing 3k. Why..,we've purchased a small second home in an area we like by a lake and he would be problematic there and I won't board him--he deserves better. That, and pheasant opportunities in NW IA have dried up, I'm sorry to say, with ground having gone north of $20k/acre. Fence-to-fence cultivation, tiling streams, coupled with CRP contracts disappearing, leaves very little natural cover for the birds and, ...I hate it.

But I can tell you this: this AKC dog is great. PM me if questions.
