Doberman puppies are expensive because of the high demand for these dogs. Responsible breeders may perform genetic testing and health screenings on the parent dogs and their puppies and provide quality care, nutrition, and vaccinations. Unethical breeders, puppy mills, and scammers charge high fees for unhealthy Doberman puppies too. Do your research, and consider adopting from your local animal shelter or Doberman rescue.

A Doberman costs around $300 when they’re adopted from a rescue or shelter. This covers the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Dobermans from a breeder can be much more expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500.
