Price and budget
# How much does a Shiba Inu puppy cost?
Japan
The Shiba Inu is generally in a mid-range price bracket to purchase, with an annual maintenance budget to plan for food, routine veterinary care and everyday needs. The actual cost varies depending on the breeder, the lineage and the quality of follow-up provided for the dog.
Purchase price
## It all depends on where your puppy comes from
The Shiba Inu is preferably acquired from a declared breeder, able to present the parents, the relevant tests and a clear contract. A very low price should prompt checking identification and breeding conditions. Adoption through an association remains an option, especially for an adult.
| Declared LOF breeding programThe right choice Identified, socialized puppy from a monitored breeding program | €1,000 – €1,500 |
| --- | --- |
| Show or working line Desired type, valued origins and documented screenings | €1,150 – €1,500 |
