Factors Affecting the Cairn Terrier Price in India

Now there are various factors that can affect the original Cairn Terrier price in India. These factors are as follows:

Type

There are three different price categories for a Cairn Terrier dog (in India): Basic, KCI Registered and Show Quality.

  • Basic category includes all those dogs and puppies that are not registered to any kennel club including KCI. A basic Cairn Terrier puppy can cost anywhere around ₹25,000.
  • KCI is short for Kennel Club of India and if a dog belongs to KCI Registered category, then it means you will get a canine whose quality is up to the mark. You will also be able to participate in KCI dog shows if your canine is registered and also you will get a KCI registration certificate.
  • A Show Quality dog means that the canine is closest to the ideal as mentioned in the Breed Standards. If you are not planning to participate in dog shows with your pooch, then it does not matter all that much whether you buy a Show Quality dog or a normal Pet Quality one.

Physical Attributes and Characteristics

The Cairn Terriers are found in a lot of different coat colors and based on the rarity of the coat color, the overall price of this canine might vary. The rarer the color of the coat, the higher might be the price of this pooch. Different coat colors in which the Cairn Terriers can be found in are – Black, Brindle, Cream, Gray, Tan, Silver and Wheaten.

Age & Gender

It is quite normal for a breeder to sell puppies and young dogs at a higher price as compared to matured or older canines. Also, many breeders are also known to sell male dogs at a bit of a higher price as compared to the female pooches.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Cairn Terrier is higher than the mixed-breed as there are lesser chances for a purebred puppy to develop hereditary health problems as compared to the one that is mixed-breed.

Availability and Location

We know, dogs that are not that easily available in a region tend to cost more compared to the pooches that are readily available in that region. In case of Cairn Terriers, although their availability is pretty subpar in the country, still, their overall price is not that high especially compared to other exotic breeds.

Reputed Breeder

Also, it is commonly seen that Reputed or well-known breeders tend to sell dogs and other pets at a little higher price as compared to those breeders who are not as popular as them. Hence, this also affects the overall price of a dog to some extent. But as getting a dog from a reputable source is very important for both the pet parent and the pooch, people don’t mind spending little bit extra at a reliable place.

Miscellaneous Factors

  • Champion Bloodline: If a dog belongs to a champion bloodline, meaning any of its predecessors (forefathers) were given the title of Champion in an official dog event, then its price can also go fairly high.
  • Microchip: The price of a dog can also increase if it has been microchipped by the KCI. The extremely small pet microchip helps in providing a permanent ID for your pet.
