WWTTFF! i hope it was her money she spent and not yours.

i wouldnt pay for a dog, other than what i paid to rescue one from the animal shelter which was 50, and i even debated that. i can understand why people would pay for a dog. my neighbor paid 400 for a yellow lab(?). great dog and very good looking, so i can see some advantages. i just can spend that much, it goes against my grain.

but 6000? those better be gold turds.

pet shops get their animals from farms where they're treated like livestock, she should have got a puppy from an animal shelter and donated 6 grand to the shelter.

Even a well bred German Shepherd from a quality breeder won't generally cost you more than 4k I don't think (My familiy's first German Shepherd had a father who was rated the 5th best GS in the nation... the puppies were selling for $3500 but we knew the breeder so we got him for $350). Generally, if you go to a pet store it is to get a cheap puppy.

i believe some purebread german sheppards actually cost several grand (i'm not talking from you're local breeder iether).... of course, they come from germany pre-trained -- A good family freind has one of these german shepppards and it is a remarkable dog (it is a police bomb sniffing dog)

About 7 years ago I spent $800 on my dog. She is a purebred Australian Shepherd with a very, very strong lineage. I thought it was too much to spend too, but I caved in and did it. $6,000.......well, that is just dumb!

i hope your annual salary is over $XXX,000 or you are a heir to a massive fortune

good luck on that g/f , you'll be poor forever with a chick that buys $6000 dogs (unless you are rich per the above income)

I didn't think there was anything in a pet store priced that high. To spend that much on a dog you'd have to buy a purebred with papers straight from a breeder.

Are you sure she didn't say "A bridge in New York with clean lines?"

Dude, she better be joking. Seriously, my sister has worked at these places and there has never been a dog that sells for more then a grand. No breed. So, I can only hope you misunderstood her, or she is joking. For your sake. $600 yes, $6000 is pretty much impossible.

Unless its some upscale, Beverly hills style Pet Shop that sells dogs that would cost $600 anywhere else

Keep us updated, I seriously hope you get rid of her if she did. Unless your a millionaire, I'd be seriously pissed off.
