Price & budget

How much does a German Shorthaired Pointer kitten cost?

Germany

The purchase price varies depending on the pedigree, the quality of the selection, the screening results, the reputation of the kennel and the dog's intended use, notably companionship, hunting or showing. The initial cost must be supplemented by a long-term budget for food, care, training and sporting equipment.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

Priority must be given to a traceable origin, to breeding dogs monitored from a health standpoint and to serious socialization of the puppies. An on-site visit and the handing over of the mandatory documents make it possible to assess the breeding conditions.

A price too good to be true?

  • An abnormally low price may conceal a lack of health screening, socialization, or documents.
  • You must see the mother and the puppies' living conditions, unless there is a clear and verifiable justification.
  • No puppy must be transferred before the legal age or without identification and a veterinary certificate.
  • Promises of rare color do not justify an extra cost at the expense of health and temperament.
