Price & budget

How much does a Irish Red Setter kitten cost?

Ireland

The purchase price varies depending on the quality of the breeding, the lineage, the pedigree and the seriousness of health monitoring. Beyond the initial cost, you should above all anticipate the budget related to food, routine maintenance and the activity of a sporting dog.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

The Red Irish Setter 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.
