Well, I definitely don't mind answering.I paid the same as you, 2000 for Bolt. I researched for probably 8 months and tried to find a breeder within reasonable driving distance from us. So with the breeders I looked at in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana it seemed the range was anywhere between 1800 - 3000. I have to say I was a little taken back when initially researching at the cost and my husband thought I was nuts, but when you look at all that goes into breeding this breed it makes sense.
