As a quick reminder, per our rules and advertising policy, we ask that discussion of breeders, dogs for sale, and pricing be kept as general as possible.
Honestly, the best way to go about answering your question is to talk to the breeders themselves. There are many, many factors that go into determining the sale price of a show-quality puppy or dog; it would be very difficult to say what the nation-wide average is.
I see that you live overseas; though it's a long way to travel, I highly recommend that you plan to attend the 2013 ASSA National if you are interested in purchasing a show-quality puppy from the US. This would give you the opportunity to meet many different breeders, see many different dogs, and learn more about what might be available to you.
