Price & budget

How much does a Hokkaido kitten cost?

Japan

The price of a Hokkaïdo Ken varies depending on the lineage, the seriousness of the breeding, the screenings and the socialization. The maintenance budget (food, veterinary care, training) often exceeds the purchase price over time.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

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

A price too good to be true?

  • Check health tests and breeding conditions before any reservation
  • Beware of vague ads using several breed names without clear documents
  • For a rare breed, the dog's true origin and the traceability of the lineage are essential
