How much does a Appenzeller Sennenhund kitten cost?

Switzerland

The price of a puppy depends in particular on the quality of the lineage, the reputation of the breeding kennel, the health tests carried out on the parents and the dog's intended purpose. The relative rarity of the breed in France can also influence the price and waiting times.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

For a responsible acquisition, it is advisable to favor a registered breeder who presents the parents or their file, the results of health examinations, the breeding conditions and the puppy’s identification documents. Adoption through an association remains possible, but dogs of this breed are rare there.
