Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about this problem in one of your puppies. Cataract surgery probably varies widely as far as cost across the US but most large urban areas have eye specialists who received further training in eye problems and are certified opthalmologists. They would be the only vets I would trust with a cataract surgery since it is so specialized. These procedures typically are not inexpensive since they are only done by board certified veterinary opthalmologists. One of my concerns would be in this puppy is the other eye going to develop one? I wish you the best of luck with this situation. I would advise not breeding that female and male again since this is most likely a genetic problem but you can discuss this with your veterinarian. It is possible that some trauma caused the cataract.
