Price and budget
# How much does a Tosa puppy cost?
Japan
The purchase price of the Tosa varies mainly according to the quality of the bloodline, the reputation of the breeder, the socialization work and the follow-up offered. Its maintenance cost must also be anticipated, because a very large dog entails regular expenses that are higher than average.
Purchase price
## It all depends on where your puppy comes from
For a Tosa, it is preferable to turn to a serious breeding kennel, transparent about the breeding dogs, socialization and health monitoring. The low number of specialized breeders can influence availability and the price.

## A price that seems too good to be true?
- Avoid listings that lack transparency about the parents, temperament, and health monitoring.
- An abnormally low price should prompt you to verify the dog's true origin and the quality of the breeding.
- Anticipate the maintenance budget for a very large dog before adoption.
