There is a very high demand for these dogs in this country and there are a lot of reasons for that. Goldens are known to make amazing house pets for most people out there, they have a decent tolerance to heat and humidity and they are not extremely pricey to bring home and maintain, hence their popularity and demand in this country is surely justified.

Now if you want to raise a Golden Retriever and you are looking to get one from a breeder, then it is very important that you look for it at a trusted breeder’s place only. Many breeders in India are just thinking about their own profits and are just selling the canines at unreasonable prices. They also mostly don’t provide many important details about the dog that you might be interested in (like the information about its sire and dam, any health-related concerns etc.). Hence, it is not at all a good idea to get your soon-to-be best friend from any random unreliable breeder. You should always look for a trusted source that will only provide healthy and wholesome pooches which are properly certified.

Factors Affecting the Golden Retriever Price in India

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

Type

There are three different price categories for a Golden Retriever 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 Golden Retriever puppy can cost anywhere around ₹20,000.
• 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 Golden Retrievers are sometimes available in three different types which are based on slight cosmetic differences, the overall Golden Retriever price can get affected because of it. These types are Canadian, British, and American Golden Retrievers.

But unlike most breeds whose coat colors can also influence their overall price, Golden Retrievers are only found in different shades of Golden color, hence their coat color is not a factor that usually influences their price in this country.

Age & Gender

Normally, male puppies and dogs are sold at a higher price than the female pooches. And, this is also correct that older or fully grown dogs cost fairly less as compared to young dogs and puppies. Hence this proves that age and gender are very crucial factors that influence the overall price of a breed.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Golden Retriever 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

As Golden Retrievers have really good availability in most parts of India, their average price is a bit lower than those breeds who are not very easily available in this country like Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs et cetera.

Also, if you are buying a dog from a breeder that is near to your place, then the price of that canine should be a bit lower as compared to the pooch that is bought from a far-away location and this is because of the additional charges such as shipping and traveling expenses which add to the overall price of the dog.

Reputed Breeder

Generally, popular and reputed breeders are known to sell dogs at a little bit higher price as compared to other breeders who are not that popular. And thus, the price of a particular canine is again affected because of this reason.

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.
