Price & budget

How much does a American Akita kitten cost?

Japan

The purchase price varies depending on the lineage, the quality of the pedigree, the health results of the breeding dogs, the reputation of the kennel and the puppy’s intended purpose. The budget must also include the feeding of a large dog, veterinary care, insurance, training and suitable equipment.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

A declared and transparent breeding operation must provide identification, regulatory documents, information on socialization, and the parents' health results. Adoption through an association is another option, with fees generally covering part of the care already provided.

A price too good to be true?

  • An abnormally low price may conceal an undeclared origin, insufficient socialization, or the absence of screenings.
  • The parents' health results must be available for consultation and must not be limited to an oral statement.
  • The puppy must not be transferred before the legal age and must be identified with the required documents.
  • The maintenance cost of a dog of this size must be anticipated throughout its life.
