DOGO ARGENTINO PRICE IN INDIA

The Argentine Mastiff or Dogo Argentino is a strong and well-built canine that hails from Argentina. These pooches are excellent watchdogs and are highly protective of their family members and loved ones. These canines require a decent amount of exercise on a daily basis and they can be a bit tricky to train, hence they are mostly recommended to experienced dog parents only.

In India, although the demand for this breed is gradually increasing, it is still fairly low when compared to some other popular breeds. The Argentine Mastiffs have a great tolerance to heat and high temperatures, hence they can comfortably thrive in a hot country like India. But the thing to note in case of these canines is their overall cost. Dogo Argentino is quite pricey to bring home and is not quite easy on the pockets of most people. Also, these dogs are not very apartment-friendly as well and they require a bigger and open space where they can freely move and fulfill their exercise needs.

Given below is the average price list of the Dogo Argentino puppies which are available in various variations.

• Dogo Argentino Puppy price (Basic): ₹65,000 to ₹85,000
• Dogo Argentino Puppy price (KCI registered): ₹85,000 to ₹1,15,000
• Dogo Argentino Puppy price (Show Quality): ₹1,15,000 to ₹1,60,000

Now, if you are planning to raise a Dogo Argentino pup as a pet and you want to get this canine from a breeder, then you should be focusing on getting it from a reputable breeder only. There are many breeders in the country who are least bothered with the health and fitness of the pup they are providing; these breeders just want to make extra money and increase their profits. And, you should never get the pup you desire from such breeders. You should only look for the pet you are interested in at a trusted and reputable breeder’s place. Good breeders will not only provide a high-quality canine to you but they will also give you important details and tips, about the pup you want to raise, that might come in handy in the future. Also, a good breeder will always give priority to both your needs and the health of the pets he is providing to you and this type of thing is mostly missing when you look for the pet at any random unreliable breeder’s place. Thus, it is extremely crucial that you get your soon-to-be furry friend only from a trustworthy source.

Factors Affecting the Dogo Argentino Price in India

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

Type

There are three different price categories for a Dogo Argentino (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 Dogo Argentino puppy can cost anywhere around ₹65,000.
• 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

Physical Characteristics such as the color of the coat of a canine, the texture and length of the coat and other physical features can greatly influence the overall price of a pooch. But in case of the Argentine Mastiffs, these dogs are only found in a short white colored coat which is smooth in texture. There are no other kinds of Argentine Mastiffs that have different features and thus, physical traits of this canine do not seem to affect its overall price.

Age & Gender

It is mostly seen that male dogs are sold at a little higher price as compared to female pooches. Also, older or fully matured dogs cost a bit less when compared to young canines or puppies.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Dogo Argentino 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

The canine that has a decent availability in a particular location or region tend to cost fairly less compared to the pooch whose availability is not that great. And the same is the case with Dogo Argentino canines, they have a fairly low availability in most parts of India, thus, the overall price of these pooches is quite high as compared to some other breeds that are easily available.

Reputed Breeder

Well-known and reputed breeders are also known to sell canines at a bit of higher price as compared to those breeders who are not as popular as them. This again influences the overall price of a dog in a region.

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.
