Price & budget

How much does a Scottish Deerhound kitten cost?

United Kingdom

The Scottish Deerhound is a relatively rare breed, whose price depends mainly on the quality of the breeding, the lineage and the seriousness of health monitoring. The acquisition budget must be considered along with the maintenance costs of a large athletic dog and any preventive health expenses.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

It is advisable to turn to a serious breeder, transparent about the health of the breeding dogs, the socialization of the puppies and the breeding conditions. For a confidential breed, availability may be more limited and waiting times longer.

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.
