Purchase price
It all depends on where your kitten comes from
It is recommended to favor a declared breeder who presents the parents, the socialization conditions, the puppy’s identification, its veterinary certificate and its documents of origin. Associations and shelters may occasionally offer adult scenthounds.

And once at home?
A price too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price should lead you to check the identification, health status, origin and breeding conditions.
- Do not pay a deposit without verifiable identity of the seller, a written contract and precise information about the dog.
- The annual cost of an active scenthound far exceeds its purchase price alone.

Your questions about price
Answers to future buyers’ questions.
The reference sheet generally indicates a purchase price between 400 and 600 euros, with variations depending on origin, pedigree, working line, age and the breeder.
You should ask for identification, the veterinary certificate, the health record or passport, the transfer certificate and, for a purebred dog, the documents relating to registration with the LOF as well as the parents' health information.
