How much does a Akita Inu kitten cost?

Japan

The price of an Akita Inu varies mainly according to the quality of the lineage, the reputation of the breeding kennel, the health tests carried out and compliance with the standard. A well-selected puppy represents a significant initial investment, generally consistent with the breeding work required by the breed.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

A price too good to be true?

  • The maintenance budget over several years often exceeds the purchase price.
