I used to work here. They pay less than $200 per puppy. They buy them in bulk quantities from puppy mills and sell them for top dollar. So to answer your question, they charge so much money because they are greedy and because they can. I don't know why anyone would want to buy a puppy mill puppy, but when they do they are funding the existence of puppy mills by creating a demand for their products . As long as people keep buying their diseased defective inbred puppies, the mills will continue to produce them.
I offered them a lower price and got it!
