You can adopt a Curly-Coated Retriever at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Curly-Coated Retriever usually ranges from $200 to $500. Adoption fees cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption and often include spaying or neutering, vaccines, and veterinary care. In contrast, buying a Curly-Coated Retriever from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. A Curly-Coated Retriever puppy typically costs between $1,000 and $2,500.
