Price and budget
# How much does a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy cost?
South Africa
The purchase price of a Rhodesian Ridgeback depends mainly on the quality of the breeding, the lineage, the screenings carried out and the puppy’s conformity to the standard. Beyond the initial cost, you must plan for the budget of a large active dog, notably for food, veterinary prevention and training.
Purchase price
## It all depends on where your puppy comes from
For this breed, the safest solution remains a specialized breeder that works on the health, temperament and socialization of the puppies. It is important to compare the guarantees, the tests carried out on the parents and the breeding conditions before any reservation.

## A price that seems too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price should prompt you to check identification, health status and breeding conditions.
- The absence of clear information about the parents and screenings is a warning sign.
- A large dog that is poorly socialized or poorly selected can later generate significant veterinary and training expenses.
