Price and budget

# How much does a Kishu puppy cost?

Japan

The Kishu remains a rare breed whose purchase price mainly reflects the rarity of litters, the selection of breeding dogs and the seriousness of the breeding. It is important to favor a breeder that is transparent about health, temperament and socialization.

Purchase price

## It all depends on where your puppy comes from

Before any reservation, it is advisable to compare breeding practices, health guarantees and the quality of socialization rather than choosing solely based on the displayed price.

- Ask for relevant health screenings of the breeding dogs and a clear contract.
- The maintenance budget over several years often exceeds the purchase price.
