Why Our Prices Reflect Real Value

At our kennel, prices are not set randomly. They represent the love, effort, and quality we put into every puppy we raise.

 

Before Breeding Begins

To prepare a dog for breeding, we invest significantly in its health, well-being, and development:

  • Purchase from a reputable breeder abroad (if not bred by us): €1,500–€5,000
  • Transportation costs: €300–€1,200
  • Veterinary care: Vaccinations, deworming, flea treatments, etc.: €100–€300
  • Genetic and medical testing: DNA tests, patella exams, BAER, Echo Doppler, etc.: €400–€650
  • Hip/elbow X-rays (for breeds like Amstaff): €200–€250
  • If the test results aren’t ideal, the dog is withdrawn from breeding, spayed/neutered , and either stays with us or is given to a loving home. This means our investment is effectively lost.

 

Training & Socialization

From as early as 3 months old, we dedicate time to:

  • Daily socialization in public environments
  • Basic and advanced training
  • Participation in dog shows in Greece and abroad (entry costs alone: €300–€400 for at least 10 shows — excluding travel, titles, etc.)

 

The Breeding Process

For Females:

  • Careful selection of a healthy, well-tempered and structurally sound male
  • Progesterone testing to determine ideal breeding time: €50–€250
  • Stud fees (if male is not ours): €1,000–€3,000
  • Travel & accommodation expenses (if abroad): €600–€1,000
  • Pregnancy ultrasound (30 days post-mating): €50–€90
  • Whelping with veterinary supervision: €150–€200
  • Possible cesarean section: €550–€650

 

After Birth:

  • Litter registration with the Kennel Club of Greece (KOE) for pedigrees: €25 per puppy (domestic) / €55 (for export)

 

Care until puppies are at least 8 weeks old, including:

  • Vaccinations: €30–€40 per puppy
  • Deworming
  • Premium nutrition
  • Veterinary exams
  • Microchips and other supplies

 

We Are Not a Puppy Mill

We only place puppies with responsible owners who can provide a loving, safe, and stimulating environment. We do not sell to:

  • Factories / kennels
  • Summer homes with no permanent residents
  • Very young individuals without family support

 

That’s why:

  • We require an in-person meeting before finalizing a sale
  • We sign a responsibility agreement upon puppy handover

 

Respect for the Dam

Each female has a maximum of 1–3 litters in her lifetime. After that, she retires and stays with us, continuing to receive love, training, and show participation.

 

Puppy Price

The final price of each puppy depends on:

  • The health and quality of the parents
  • Their show titles
  • The number of puppies in the litter

 

Indicative price ranges worldwide

On an international level, prices for puppies from responsible and reputable breeders tend to fall within certain ranges, reflecting the quality of breeding, health testing, genetic selection, and overall care involved.

Indicatively, for the American Staffordshire Terrier, the average price typically ranges between €1,000 and €1,200, while for the Miniature Bull Terrier it usually falls between €2,000 and €2,500.

These figures are not strict rules, but rather a general indication of the global market and help illustrate what the price of a properly bred puppy truly represents.

When significantly lower prices are encountered, it is worth considering which of these essential steps may have been omitted or compromised. Responsible breeding comes with real costs — and this is inevitably reflected in the price.

 

 

 

If you're simply looking for a “cheap puppy,” we might not be the right place for you.

At our kennel, breeding is our passion. We invest in raising high-quality, healthy purebred puppies with excellent temperament and fully health-tested parents.
