The 'average' well bred dog that comes from a fairly common breed is about £500 here..which is about $1000. Pugs are still pretty rare. So, they are £1000 ..which in comparison is a big jump. Parker's breeder was excellent and she was worth every cent (pence) of that. Maggie was £500 and her breeder was rubbish (though she is great). When I was looking for dogs I would see British bulldogs for about £2k ($4k). I think that is mostly because of them being the national dog.
