I was going to purchase until they showed me an $8500.00 cost

Hi Beth, our highest priced puppy would be less than half that amount you mentioned. It's possible you have us mixed up with another location. Best wishes.

I bought my puppy at their Tampa location and he was 1500 total cost 4000 after payments made

Same here. I was pregnant then and wanted to buy a pomsky. But cost too much 7500$
