Price and budget

How much does a Leonberger puppy cost?

Germany

The purchase price of the Leonberger mainly reflects the selection of breeding dogs, the seriousness of the breeding program and the socialization work carried out beforehand. Its large size then implies a long-term high maintenance cost, notably for food and health monitoring.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your puppy comes from

For this breed, it is preferable to favor a serious breeder, transparent about the health of the lines and the socialization of the puppies. Abnormally low offers should prompt caution, especially for a giant breed exposed to several hereditary risks.

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