How much do beagles cost?
A beagle puppy can vary considerably in price depending on where it is purchased, from whom, and whether it is of “pet-quality” or “show-quality”, the latter meaning that it has a high degree of conformance to the breed standard. Prices can range from $300 to $800 or more for a show-quality beagle. Pounds and rescues usually charge no more than $150, enough to cover expenses. And many beagles can be obtained for free by adopting them from people who no longer want or can keep their dog. If cost is a factor in the decision to get a dog, then before buying one, consider the other expenses involved, such as food, vet care, bedding, toys, leashes, etc. This can easily run $1000/year, more if your dog has health problems.
