 | |  | | I am in the show world and while I do think 27K is a lot of money, I have seen puppies go for more. Also, the puppy was shipped from Australia to the US (i dont know how much that would cost but Im sure its a lot). Its not unusual for a person to wait an show a large, slow developing dog (such as a great dane) until they are at least 2 years old. Some breeds (such as borzois) usually don't go into the ring until they are at least 3 years old due to slow development. I have never paid 27k for a dog, and I will never pay that much, but people who are involved in the show world with a particular breed will pay lots of money for a dog with a great pedigree which has multiple champions in it. There is always a chance that the puppy will not turn out as a great show dog but most show people are willing to take the chance. |  |  | |  |
