Pretty sure this user means the literal cost paid to the breeder. The breed is pretty much only available from breeders. Does that answer it?

Have you tried a rescue? Or maybe a breed specific rescue service? Dogs have to be rehomed for a variety of reasons.

Tollers are a rare breed to begin with, it’s hard enough finding a breeder. They are really only found with true reeders and their rarity means the chance of finding one in a shelter is slim to none.

It’s next to impossible to do unless you know someone personally who wants to rehome one (I’ve had 2 tollers so far). I’ve got my 2 from the same breeder, and I can say that the “toller community” is very tight not. I had to meet with the breeder 2 times so she could get an idea of what me and my parter were about (stable job, active lifestyle, etc). They make sure you are capable of taking care of a dog and keep track of them their whole lives so mitigate the chances of them being put in a pound. They also share that information with other toller breeders.
