Did you mean $750 or was that actually $7500? There is a range of pricing for GSD, but you can certainly find good ones under $7500, especially if you’re only looking for a companion.
I got mine for $100, AKC papers and all.
Sadly, my beloved black GSD passed away a year ago this month.
She is forever in my heart.
I had a German Shepherd pass away 2 yrs ago; if I got one from the same breeder it would be $6-7K now! His prices have quadrupled in 15 yrs. Those are working line/German blood instead of the American ones.
Before that we had 2 poorly bred local ones, as I live in puppy mill territory.
