Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
For this breed, it is particularly important to favor a serious breeding program, transparent about origins, the temperament of the breeding dogs and the health checks carried out. The price must never be the only selection criterion, especially for an active and independent dog that requires balanced selection.

FAQ
Your questions about price
Answers to common questions from prospective owners.
The rarity of the breed, the quality of the bloodlines, the seriousness of the breeding and health checks strongly influence the price. A well-selected and properly socialized puppy often costs more, but offers more guarantees.
No, it is better to prioritize transparency about origin, temperament and health follow-up. An abnormally low price can hide poor selection, a lack of socialization or the absence of useful screenings.
