What can I expect to pay for a Dandie?
All purebred, Canadian Kennel Club registered breeds will come with CKC registration papers, and microchipping. These are additional expenses that breeders of mongrels and hybrids (the so-called designer breeds) do not incur. Mongrels, mixed breeds and designer breeds are bred for profit by commercial breeders. Most purebreds are bred by committed breeders who are interested in the perpetuation of quality in their chosen breed. Any responsible breeder will not let their puppies leave the home until all the veterinary protocols (worming, shots and microchipping) are completed. Thus most Dandie puppies will have about $250 invested in veterinary protocols before they leave their breeder. Dandies are not bred by profit minded, commercial breeders. Hobby breeders merely try to recoup their expenses. Dandies are thus priced approximately the same as most small Terriers. Expect to pay in the range of $1200 – $1600 for household pets and more, of course, for show quality Dandies.
