Q: What is Siberian Husky Price Range and Typical Puppies Cost?
We want to get a Siberian Husky puppy but I don't know what is the reasonable price range.
We'd rather take a female. Does it affect the price as opposed to a male?
Also, what are the best things to buy for that breed of puppy? Do they need a lot of toys for exercise?

Breeders who charge more for a bitch than a male are backyard breeders. Go to your local shelter, or find a Siberian Husky rescue. Price from a decent breeder will probably be around $ 1000.00. Toys aren't going to cut it with this breed. You are going to have to get the dog involved in some sort of physical exercise, and not just walking.

You won't find a Siberian Husky for less than $ 800 from a reputable breeder; the price will usually be in the one thousand. Gender has no effect on pricing. I recommend contacting the Siberian Husky Club of America for a breeder referral. If you buy from a reputable breeder, you'll be getting what you paid; breeding dogs from reputable breeders have good temperaments, champion titles (working or show ring), and they have passed all genetic testing (hips, elbows, cardio, thyroid, eyes). Any breeder that does not meet these requirements is a backyard breeder who should get his/her pet-quality dogs fixed.
If you want to pay less initially, and you acknowledge that the dog probably came from an unethical breeder (reputable breeders have clauses in their contracts stating that their dogs go back to them if the owners are ever unable to care for them), you adopt. A good place to look is Petfinder.com. I recommend a breed rescue because dogs in rescues stay in foster homes, are properly socialized, and learn basic commands, etc., instead of staying in kennels like shelter dogs.

Make sure you do research on the breed prior to purchase.
Most of the Sibes you'll find in shelters and rescues were purchased by unsuspecting people who thought they were "pretty", had "nice eyes" and "look like a wolf" – and when they found out what they were really about they dumped them off in shelters for someone else. http://www.shca.org/ <-The breed club has a lot of information and a spectacular list of negative traits that come with Sibes for you to look into if you're honestly interested.
The price will depend on where you get the dog from.
A shelter or rescue can cost you anywhere from 50-500$, and the dog tends to come fully vet checked, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and temperament tested (and with some training!).
A reputable breeder can cost you anywhere from 800-4k$ – working dogs (especially if they're partially trained or proven) will cost you more, adult dogs that have already been worked with (be it for shows or working) will generally cost you more, etc.
500-1k$ is a horrible estimate. I have yet to find a reputable breeder that sold a Sibe for less than 800$ – and I've been in contact with multiple breeders and have spoken to plenty more at shows and mushing competitions.

Any reputable breeder of any dog breed will sell their dogs for no less than $ 600, so base your breeder choices on this unless you are planning on rescuing a Husky from a shelter. Either way, good for you.
I don't think the price is based on gender, but quality. Pet quality/companion quality dogs are sold at a lower price than show quality dogs. You cannot show these dogs (other than competitions like agility).
Answer by Jessica
I would say the price for Siberian Husky puppy is between 700 and 1000 $ depending on breeder and bloodline. If you find them any cheaper it's most likely a backyard breeder who has no Business breeding in the first place and is not breeding to better the breed.
