How much does a Golden Retriever cost?

The cost to buy a Golden Retriever is between $500 and $4,000, depending on whether or not they’re from working dog or show-dog bloodlines. Buying Golden Retrievers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive, but you can adopt a Golden Retriever at a much lower price. The cost to adopt a Golden Retriever from a shelter or rescue is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption.
