Price differences vary based on pedigree, quality of the individual dog, level of obedience training, physical and mental toughness, and practical experience in a home environment versus a kennel. Protection Dog Sales has created videos on pricing to help people understand the many factors involved. Educational videos are available upon request.

Buyer beware! There are many marketing scams that prey on uneducated buyers. Most websites selling protection dogs are really re-sellers. They buy dogs raised and trained to be sport dogs in Europe. When those dogs wash out of competition training or develop health issues, their owners sell them to brokers — who sell to more brokers — and U.S. companies buy from their "contact" in Europe and pass the markup on to you at every step.
New scam alert: We have been contacted by over a dozen people who purchased from other companies a dog that was much older than they were told. These are retired show dogs from Europe — many five to seven years old — but buyers were told they were two or three years old. Fake medical records and microchip numbers were included in the sale. Buyer beware.
The individual who raised the sport or show dog in Europe sold that dog to the first broker for a few thousand dollars. By the time it reaches you, the same dog is priced up tens of thousands — based entirely on what the seller believes the market will bear. These dogs were never raised to be personal protection dogs. Some are capable of both sport and personal work, but 98% are Schutzhund dogs that have never seen home life, have been kennel-raised, and know nothing of civil agitation.
Age is another issue. Many of these dogs are much older than you are being told, well into their prime, and their age should absolutely factor into the cost. At Protection Dog Sales, we show you the full timeline of every dog's breeding and development via timestamped video. No mystery, no brokers, no markups. View Playlist
Protection Dog Sales competes effectively, and we are not afraid to post prices right next to our dogs on the web because we raise and train every family protection dog ourselves. We did not buy them from someone else. We can be competitive because dog sales is not a side hustle for us. This is our vocation, our passion, and our life. It shows in the body of work we can share with you and our clients worldwide.
There are many other factors to consider when purchasing a protection dog. That is why I post my name, phone number, and email address on my website. I am happy to make sure you get the information you need to make an informed buying decision that will give your family security and bring pleasure and joy to your life.
Contact us and request our "Educational Videos" on the buying process. We have amazing content covering pricing, safety, and details on how we raise our dogs in homes — not kennels.
Every dog we sell was bred, raised, and trained by us. You can see the whole story on video.
