Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
It is recommended to favor a declared breeder who presents the parents, the socialization conditions, the puppy’s identification, its veterinary certificate and its documents of origin. Associations and shelters may occasionally offer adult scenthounds.

What about once they're home?
A price that seems too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price should lead you to check the identification, health status, origin and breeding conditions.
- Do not pay a deposit without verifiable identity of the seller, a written contract and precise information about the dog.
- The annual cost of an active scenthound far exceeds its purchase price alone.
