Price and budget
# How much does a Billy puppy cost?
France
The Billy is a rare French breed whose price depends mainly on the quality of the breeding, the pedigree, health selection and the abilities of the ancestors. The acquisition cost represents only part of the budget, because this large active dog requires quality food, travel, sturdy equipment and regular veterinary follow-up.
Purchase price
## It all depends on where your puppy comes from
It is advisable to favor a transparent contact regarding breeding conditions, socialization, the health of the breeding dogs and registration in the French Book of Origins. The rarity of the breed may lengthen the waiting time, but must not lead to neglecting traceability or meeting with the breeder.

## A price that seems too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price may conceal a lack of traceability, socialization, or health monitoring.
- Do not pay a deposit before having verified the seller's identity, the documents, and the breeding conditions.
- The rarity of the breed never exempts you from meeting the dog or the kennel and from checking the claimed registration with the LOF.
- Plan the annual budget for a very active large dog beyond the purchase price alone.
