Price & budget

How much does a Birman cost?

France

The purchase price of a Birman varies depending on the lineage, compliance with the standard, the breeder's selection work and the health guarantees provided. The acquisition cost must not be the only criterion, because the quality of the breeding and the kitten's socialization are decisive.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your puppy comes from

For a Birman, it is recommended to favor a serious breeder able to present identification, health documents and registration in the genealogical register when this is announced. An abnormally low offer should prompt you to check the kitten's origin very carefully.
