Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
The Istrian Shorthaired Hound 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.
