Buying a responsibly, well bred puppy and the cost.

All our puppies are $4900 (inc GST) as of July 2026.

(Except for those families already on our priority list.)

​

WHAT DOES THIS COST INCLUDE?

​

 - All completed veterinary care including puppy vaccinations, worming, microchip and a 10-point health checklist. (We do NOT carry out early desexing as we believe it is detrimental to your puppy's growth and development).

​

​

- Our COMPLIMENTARY Life Readiness Program for the first month at home with your puppy, with a qualified puppy and dog trainer. This involves a 1.5 hour consult with GEM Dog Training BEFORE you take your puppy home, that's tailored to your individual lifestyle, home and puppy setup, to ensure you are comfortable, well equipped and ready to welcome a new puppy into your home. Then weekly check-ins for the next month. For more comprehensive info, see our "LIFE READINESS PROGRAM" Page.

​

- A puppy pack wth food, treats, snuggle blanket with siblings smell, quality KONG toys and all your puppys paperwork.

​

 - A well bred, healthy and well socialised puppy, from completely health tested parents.

​

- Full breeder and Veterinary support for the lifetime of your puppy.

​

- A puppy that is crate trained and almost toilet trained.

Why it is worth paying for a responsibly bred puppy?

​

We are well aware that there are puppies that can be found advertised at a lower cost. Don't be fooled into thinking this is a good thing. When it comes to puppies - you really do get what you paid for! Cheaper often means heartache later down the track.

We go above and beyond to make sure all our puppies and dogs receive premium care, including top quality food and 24/7 Veterinary care.

One key aspect of responsible breeding is rigorous health screening and genetic testing. Reputable breeders invest time and resources in screening their breeding dogs for common genetic conditions and diseases. This proactive approach helps in:

​

- Preventing Genetic Disorders:

By selecting only the healthiest animals for breeding, therefore diminishing the risk of transmitting hereditary conditions. This translates to fewer vet visits and reduced medical bills for pet owners.

​

- Ensuring Robust Health:

Puppies from responsible breeders typically possess stronger immune systems and are less susceptible to illnesses. This leads to fewer emergency vet visits and lower ongoing healthcare costs.

​

- Reduced Risk of Chronic Conditions:

Pets from responsible breeders are less likely to develop chronic conditions requiring long-term management and medication. This can save you thousands of dollars over the pet’s lifetime. 

​

- Lower Insurance Premiums:

Pet insurance companies often offer lower premiums for pets with a clean bill of health and a documented history of responsible breeding. By choosing a pet from a responsible breeder, you might find that your insurance premiums are more affordable.

​

Purchasing your well bred, healthy puppy from a responsible breeder means:

​

• You are supporting a breeder who cares passionately about the health and welfare of their parent dogs and puppies.

• Reassurance you will receive a healthy, well socialised, well bred puppy.

• Safety and protection from online scamming.

• Receive ongoing support and a lifelong rehoming guarantee for your dog.

• Help protect dogs everywhere by cutting supply to illegal puppy farms.

• Less chance of long term, costly health problems later in life.
