Price & budget

How much does a Frisian Water Dog kitten cost?

Netherlands

The price of a Frisian Water Dog varies depending on the lineage, the seriousness of the breeding, the screenings and the socialization. The maintenance budget (food, veterinarian, training) often exceeds the purchase price over time.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

The Frisian Water Dog is preferably acquired from a declared breeder, able to present the parents, the useful tests and a clear contract. A very low price should prompt checking identification and breeding conditions. Adoption through an association remains an option, especially for an adult.

A price too good to be true?

  • An abnormally low price should prompt you to check identification, health, and breeding conditions.
  • Ask for relevant health screenings of the breeding dogs and a clear contract.
  • The maintenance budget over several years often exceeds the purchase price.
