Based on the search results, the cost of a top-quality purebred red Standard Poodle before COVID-19 would typically range from $2,500 to $4,000. These prices are based on top-quality purebred red standard poodles. Additional costs are discussed in the next article. Reputable breeders are boarding their puppies longer to prevent the risk of unintended consequences.
Specifically:
- Reputable breeders generally priced Standard Poodles between $2,500 to $3,500 before the pandemic[5].
- Some sources indicate prices could be as low as $1,500 from reputable breeders, though this was less common[5].
- For red Standard Poodles in particular, which are often considered a more desirable color, prices tended to be on the higher end of that range.
- One breeder specializing in red Standard Poodles currently lists their 2024 price at $3,000-$4,000[8]. While this is a current price, it likely reflects an increase from pre-COVID rates.
It's important to note that prices can vary based on factors like:
- The breeder's reputation and quality of the breeding program
- Health testing and certifications of the parents
- The pedigree and lineage of the puppies
- Geographic location
When purchasing from a reputable breeder, the price typically includes initial vaccinations, health guarantees, and sometimes starter supplies or microchipping[1].
While lower prices may be found, extremely low prices (under $1,000) for purebred Standard Poodles, especially rare colors like red, could be a red flag indicating a potential puppy mill or irresponsible breeding practices[4].
