How much does a Broholmer puppy cost?

Broholmer puppies cost $2000 to $4000 because responsible breeding is expensive, and the supply is extremely limited. These dogs aren’t in the AKC studbook—they’re in the Foundation Stock Service—which means breeders aren't mass-producing them. Fewer breeders + high demand from people wanting rare, gentle giant breeds = prices stay high. But it’s not just scarcity. Health testing is non-negotiable. You’re paying for X-rays to screen hips and elbows (both prone to dysplasia), cardiac evaluations, and GDV risk counseling, since bloat can kill a 120-pound dog in hours. A single hip dysplasia screening can cost a breeder $300 per dog, and they’re doing this on both parents, every generation. Multiply that by other tests and quality food, spacious housing, and proper puppy socialization, and $3000 starts to make sense. If you see a Broholmer under $1,500, walk away. That price likely means zero health testing, possible puppy mill ties, or backyard breeding. Those puppies may look fine at 8 weeks, but you could be facing $8,000 in hip surgery by age 3. The real cost isn’t the purchase price—it’s what happens when corners are cut.
