Factors Affecting the Chihuahua dog Price in India

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

Type

There are three different price categories for a Chihuahua 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 Chihuahua puppy can cost anywhere around ₹08,000.
• 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

As Chihuahuas are found in a lot of different types, this can greatly affect their original price. Chihuahuas are available in short-coats, long coats and various other forms and each of these forms can have a different price.

Also, these dogs are available in a fair number of colors such as White, Chocolate, Black et cetera and a breeder can charge differently for each of these colors (it mostly depends on the rarity of the color).

Age & Gender

Age is a big factor in determining the price of a breed. Usually, puppies and young dogs are sold at a fairly higher price than the fully grown dogs. Also, several breeders in this country are known to charge a bit more for a male dog than its female counterpart.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Chihuahua 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

If you are getting a new dog from a breeder that is closer to your place, then its price should be lower than the canine that is not available near to your location and it is due to the extra charges that add on to the original price of the canine (these extra charges can be shipping cost, traveling cost et cetera.)

And the availability of a dog also has a decent impact on the price of canine. If the dog is easily available in an area, then its price should be lower as compared to the canine that is considered to be a rarity in that area. For example, as Chihuahuas have a decent availability in most parts of India, hence Chihuahua price in India is fairly lower as compared to hard to find breeds such as Papillons.

Reputed Breeder

Getting a dog from a reputed and popular breeder can again increase its cost to a fair degree. But, because there is a little bit of assurance about the quality of a canine if you get it from a good breeder, many people don't usually mind getting their pups from these popular and trusted sources.

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.
