Investing in a Thistle Hill Puppy
Our puppies come with lifetime support, early training, and the peace of mind that comes from intentional, ethical breeding. You're not just getting a puppy — you're joining a community that puts the dog’s needs first.

One Price. Every Puppy
At Thistle Hill, every puppy is priced the same — $2,800 — regardless of gender, color, or eye color. We believe in pricing based on quality, care, and ethical practices, not aesthetics or novelty. This price reflects the investment we make in every puppy’s early development, socialization, and well-being.
​
Please note:
Breeding or show rights are available on a limited basis and require a separate approval process, and may require an additional fee.
Why We Price This Way
Our pricing isn’t just a number — it’s a reflection of our values. We don’t cut corners, upcharge for rare colors, or breed just to meet demand. Every Thistle Hill puppy comes from:
-
Fully health-tested parents with CHIC certifications
-
Purposeful, temperament-based pairings
-
Ethical breeding standards that prioritize long-term success over fast sales
-
Early socialization and training, using proven methods like ENS, ESI, and Puppy Culture
-
Ongoing support and a lifetime return policy, because our responsibility doesn't end at go-home day
We believe in raising puppies that are sound in body, mind, and spirit — and our pricing reflects that commitment.
