How much does a Cão de Castro Laboreiro kitten cost?

Portugal

The Cao de Castro Laboreiro remains a confidential breed and its purchase price depends mainly on the quality of the breeding, the lineage and the availability of puppies. It is advisable to favor a serious professional capable of providing clear information on health monitoring and socialization.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

For a dog of this breed, the breeder’s origin, the rarity of litters and the quality of the follow-up offered strongly influence the acquisition budget. It is better to compare breeding conditions than to limit yourself to the sole displayed price.
