Why is the price such an issue with dogs?
People want a "cheap" purebred dog or they balk at shelter adoption fees of $200 or $300. Why?
Do people just not realize that a dog is going to cost waaaay more than that in veterinary fees and food and possibly grooming?
Example, a girl I work with needs to find a home for her new dog (its a puppy about 14 weeks old now) - turns out she didn’t do her homework on the breed and its just too hyper in her home. She tells me she "just wants to find a good home for the dog" so I tell her to contact a shelter, agree to foster until a home can be found, and let the shelter administrate an adoption. Her response "oh no, I have to get at least my $250 back from whoever takes the dog. I also spent almost $100 more on dog stuff that I’ll let the people take, but I have to get some of my money back".
(I was at work so had to restrain myself big-time).
Also, because I have volunteered with rescues, I find myself constantly justifying the amount of the adoption fee to darn-near total strangers.
What is wrong with people?
While I am a rescuer at heart & never take issue with adoption fees, if I wanted to buy a purebred dog — I’d expect to pay a thousand or two to get a well-bred and healthy dog. I’d think a breeder were nuts (or more likely accuese them of being a BYB) if they weren’t charging those kind of prices.
Why - when it comes to dogs - are people so focused on the price tag?
This is question is dumb, simply because they don’t have 1 or 2k to shell out at that specific moment. Long term care of an animal is spread out into monthly payments and much more affordable, you’re looking at the picture wrong.
Why do people want cars or houses cheap , the maintanence is going to cost much more over time, that line of logic you use is nonsensical.

The rescue fees anger me more than anything. If they gave two tosses about the dog, they wouldn’t need to ask about the pricing!
People who balk at the initial price scare me. Someone I know wanted me to collect a puppy she’d saved up for the other day, and then wouldn’t understand why I wouldn’t do it when she said she couldn’t afford the bed etc until the following month!
It’s a massive commitment, which yes, unfortunately, means you’ll have to part with a little money, tough it up!!!
I’d like to see their faces when they buy a ‘cheap’ pup and then have to pay for all the initial jabs and boosters which haven’t been done and all the problems which may come with ones from clueless home-breeders and puppy farming.
And what about when it’s ill? There isn’t a puppy NHS ladies and gents.

The girl at your work should be talking to the breeder about returning/rehoming the dog. Should be right there in her contract.
I think you answered your own question though. People just don’t anticipate what caring for a dog will really cost. They get ‘puppy blindness’ and their brains fly right out the window. They also don’t understand how much a shelter, rescue, or reputable breeder has already put into the dog before they bring it home.
Our culture is so focused on everything being disposable that it’s little wonder so many people regard the dog as just one more purchase providing instant gratification.

Like I just answered in another question.
I do not define quality by price, it’s pretty foolish to think that just because the tag says $1000-$2000 you must be getting a good deal.
Also why do you care that she charges for the dog? It is hers & even though she was foolish in getting a dog that didn’t fit her lifestyle, doesn’t give you the right to determine how much she sells it for as long as she screens the calls & makes sure the dog is going to get a good home. I can’t stand when people GIVE away puppies/dogs for FREE, makes it easier for just anyone to take it, therefore resulting in it being dumped off, because it is worthless in the eyes of the owner.
At least this way the dog has a decent chance of finding someone who really wants it, even if she is just concerned with getting her money back.
Not everyone wants to "adopt" *&* not everyone wants an overpriced pet quality dog.
