Price and budget
# How much does a Shetland Sheepdog puppy cost?
United Kingdom
The purchase price varies depending on the dog's origin, the quality of the selection, the pedigree, the health screenings carried out, the reputation of the breeding kennel and the puppy's intended purpose. The budget must also include regular coat maintenance, food, preventive care and activities.
Purchase price
## It all depends on where your puppy comes from
A declared and attentive breeding operation focused on health and socialization generally offers the best traceability. Adoption through an association or a shelter remains possible, even if dogs of this breed are less common there.

## A price that seems too good to be true?
- A very low price without documents, identification or health guarantees should prompt caution.
- You should ask for the parents' screening results, especially for the eyes and hips.
- The blue merle color must not result from a mating between two merle dogs due to the health risks for the puppies.
- The puppy must be identified, at least eight weeks old, and accompanied by the mandatory legal documents.
