How much do golden retrievers cost from a breeder?

I was checking out prices today and they were $1000+...=/
Is this true? Have you had experience with this? How much did you get yours for? I was hoping for more in the $500>
 
Looking at my local newspapers' website, it looks like they run anywhere from $400 to $1500 from a breeder.
 
If you really want one, look for an agency named "golden rescue" - they rescue golden retrievers from animal shelters. We got ours through them; it was left tied to a tree at a shelter because it wasn't show quality. (It's knees are slightly at the wrong angle)

 
Here: from yesterday's Buffalo News (NY)
GOLDEN RETRIEVER Pups, AKC/OFA, vet checked/shots/dews, ready. $300. 942-6380.

GOLDEN Retrievers, 7 mo. female 14 mo. male AKC $400/both 988-3607

(if I didn't already have 3 dogs, I'd jump on the second ad. Golden retrievers are awesome dogs. )
 
www.goldenrescue.com - that's the Rockies golden retriever rescue program. It looks like they have a lot of retrievers available for adoption. (They request somewhere around $200 to help them cover their costs - shots, transportation, etc.)

There are other branches of golden rescue; I'll let you dig for the nearest branch to you. Google might be your friend.
 
I got a 9 week old female golden retriever from a local "breeder" (She bred her female with her aunts male) for $650. I'm in central CT.
 
Watch out for the backyard breeders. Go with a well known and respected breeder. Search for dog forums and see what they think, esp. with that breed. GR have been very heavily inbred because of the popularity. There are several very good breeders out there, you just have to find them and $1000.00 is about right from one of them.
