What is a reasonable price if I want to buy a chihuahua?

Question

I want to buy a chihuahua and I found one but they are asking for $675.00. It is a female and it is about 13 weeks old. It has all its shots, it is dewormed, and has a micro chip in it. Is this price reasonable? How much do they usually sell for?

thankyou

Answer 1

I would ask if they could do 600.00 dollars because the puppy is 13 weeks instead of the usual 8. Which means that the dog doesn't know about your home or house. It probably hasn't been socialized that well. If they won't go lower I would get the puppy because most people ask 1000.00 dollars for a female chihuahua.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Well, is this chihuahua from genetically tested parents that are of great quality? Can the breeder give you answers about the breed and your puppy's ancestors?

Or is the breeder a person that had a dog they thought was cute and bred it for "a cute litter that people will want"? If it is a BYB, like the one just mentioned, DON'T buy from the breeder at all.

A quality chihuahua from a god breeder is about $700-$3000.

Trust me, they're worth it.

Answer 3

From a reputable breeder with a good quality puppy, your asking some where between $750- $2000

BTW: Some BYB sell they re dogs in the 1000s. Make sure you meet the breeder, puppy and dam before you buy

675 is a resonable price. But check out a few more breeders before you make your final choise.

Some dogs that have been bought at a very low price were healthy all they re lives (good for them) but many are not.

I would rather pay a few more humdred then take the risk of using thousands and thousands later on.

Answer 4

I have paid $350-$400 for akc reg pups with all shots.

Answer 5

I don't know, but make sure you don't get it from a commercial breeder or pet store. They often get their dogs from puppy mills, where the animals are treated disgustingly, inbred and are often at high risk for disease. Get one from a rescue!!

Answer 6

I bought my long-haired Chihuahua from a breeder for about $300.00. Pure bread Chihuahuas can be pretty expensive, but this particular breeder met my family first and then sold it to us for a lot less. I would definitely find a breeder rather than buying a puppy from a pet store-- a good friend of mine bought a puppy at a local pet store and has racked up thousands of dollars in pet bills since then.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Look up Chihuahua Rescue - they have lots that desperately need homes, and for a lot less money.

Answer 8

I paid $1200

Answer 9

from pound , rescue etc $50-200

from reputable breeder $750 -2000+  

Answer 10

I got my chihuahua from a breeder, it is not registered but a beautiful long haired chihuahua and very smart.  I paid $250.00 for him and he is the best!!!

Answer 11

look on puppyfind.com but usually around $300-$500 but if very cute accept $675

Answer 12

If the dog is a pure breed and does have everything you list then its an appropriate price. my mom is a vet and knows a lot about the sales of dogs and usually they are more expensive.
