How much does a Schipperke kitten cost?

Belgium

The purchase price of a Schipperke varies mainly depending on the quality of the breeding, the pedigree, the line, the dog's age and the availability of the breed. Beyond the acquisition cost, you must also factor in routine upkeep, veterinary prevention and accessories.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

To adopt a Schipperke under good conditions, it is preferable to favor a serious breeder, transparent about the health, socialization and origin of the breeding dogs. An abnormally low offer should prompt you to check all the guarantees.
