dog price

mandy: How much would one expect to pay for a purebred Irish Wolfhound? I think Irish Wolfhounds are a beautiful breed of dog. Knowing full and well the PBs are expensive, I was curious as to HOW expensive an Irish wolfhound would be. I figure that since they are so uncommon their price tag (if you can call it that) would be through the roof. Either way, please, someone indulge my curiosity. Answers and Views: Answer by Meggy Jo Beautiful dogs! Also very expensive! I would expect to pay $ 1000-$ 2500 for a good, well-bred puppy. Answer by IW People You can find the puppy mill variety for approx 900-2000 in the U.S. You can expect things like bad bites, & poor conformation, but a lot of love from these dogs. From a reputable breeder don't expect to pay less than $ 1800 and it goes up from there. It truly depends on how good the breeder is, and where they are located. Because of the significant health concerns associated with giant breeds, a good pup will have a pedigree full of dogs that show well (lots of champions) with full health checks and screenings done down through the generations. The breeder will always have a contract with you, they will always stipulate that if for any reason you cannot keep the dog you will return it to them, and they most likely remain on the papers as a co-owner. And they won't just sell you a puppy. They almost always have a waiting list of pre-approved homes well before the litter is born. So first step is to start contacting breeders and asking to visit their kennel. Get to know some and listen. You will learn a lot and you need to if you have never owned the breed before. If you find a breeder that will just sell/ship you a puppy… beware. You could be in for a dog that will make $ 2000 look like a drop in the bucket for healthcare. I would always recommend that IW owners carry health insurance on their dogs. You can't get IW's from shelters anyway. Sometimes mixes. But the official breed rescue groups are very aggressive about taking custody of purebreds and making sure they get into home, experienced with the breed. And once again, there is always a waiting list. And one more thing. Start saving for the next one immediately. People just don't own one Irish Wolfhound. Good Luck. They are absolutely the sweetest dogs on the planet. Answer by Napalm Expect to pay a lot for a clean breed of dog. Around 1K USD.

I would suggest visiting a breeder and finding out the pros and cons of being the owner of such a dog…they will tell you the truth and then you can decide if they're really for you. I would recommend getting a puppy from 8-9 weeks old, the longer they're with their mother, the more they learn and the more they're socialized with the rest of the litter. good luck!
