To comment on the GSP duck hunting in the Dakotas, if you're looking at a GSP it also depends on the particular breeding.

Short answer: it's going to vary. Variables, to name a few: geographic region; bloodline; recent championships; closely related high-point dogs; puppy evaluation; demand on each breeder; breeder personality and business sense.
You're probably looking somewhere between $300 and $3000, ballpark.
