How much

For a quality dog of any of the breeds you're looking for, expect to pay anywhere from $1000-$2500 (especially for a Dane). Giant breeds are not cheap to buy, own or care for. Something to keep in mind. You could probably find a cheap GSD, but unless you've got an "in" from someone, you're probably buying a very cheap dog that will cost you more in the long run, assuming it didn't need PTS from temperment issues.
Ya, I looked on petfinder. There wasnt anything. All breeders are like 5 states away, and Im not ok with shipping and getting a dog I havent seen. I just have to see what I would be spending $1500 on before I get it. 
I think I am just going to stick to a GSD. I know someone who will breed their dog every so often. She just had a litter 6 months ago. He said hed sell us one for $300 but we were about to have a baby.
I dont think he sold them all. With such young children dont yall think getting a pup around 9 months - 1 year would be ideal?? Im not rushing into anything. It wont be for another good 6 - 9 months +.
Should I pay more less or equal to a price of a puppy?

Why is he 'breeding his dog every so often??'
What sort of health testing has this person had done on their dog? Are his dogs involved in any dog sports, agility, obedience, herding etc? How is he titling his dog(s) and working to improve the breed.
You may feel like your getting yourself a deal, but you always get what you pay for. There is most certainly nothing in life that is free.

I echo what Maple asked above as well.
