Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
The Irish Wolfhound 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.

A price that seems too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price should prompt you to check identification, health, and breeding conditions.
- Ask for the relevant health screenings of the breeding dogs and a clear contract.
- The maintenance budget over several years often exceeds the purchase price.
