NEAPOLITAN MASTIFF PRICE IN INDIA

The Neapolitan Mastiffs are massive canines that hail from Italy. These dogs are tremendously strong and are exceptionally well-built. They have a heavy bone structure and possess a large number of wrinkles which are spread all over their body. These canines are very affectionate and loving with their family members and close ones and they often like to sit in their laps in spite of their large size and that is why they are sometimes referred to as the ‘Biggest Lapdogs.’

In India, the availability and demand for this breed is subpar at best. This breed is pretty rare in this country and there are a few good reasons for that. First, the Neapolitan Mastiffs have a poor tolerance to high temperatures, heat and humidity and they require a lot of care and attention from their parents if they are to be raised in a hotter region. Second, these pooches are not very apartment friendly and its mostly due to their large-sized body as they require a good amount of space to freely move and live. And lastly, these dogs are quite pricey to bring home and then maintain properly and thus are not that pocket friendly for most people out there.

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

• Neapolitan Mastiff Puppy price (Basic): ₹60,000 to ₹65,000
• Neapolitan Mastiff Puppy price (KCI registered): ₹65,000 to ₹70,000
• Neapolitan Mastiff Puppy price (Show Quality): ₹70,000 to ₹95,000

Factors Affecting the Neapolitan Mastiff Price in India

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

Type

There are three different price categories for a Neapolitan Mastiff 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 Neapolitan Mastiff puppy can cost anywhere around ₹60,000.
• 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 the characteristics of a dog are not similar to its breed standards description, then that canine is not considered to be “Show Quality”. 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 features like the color of the coat can also affect the overall price of a dog. The price of a pooch may vary depending upon the rarity of the coat color. In case of Neapolitan Mastiffs, these dogs are found in these different colors – Black, Mahogany, Tawny and Blue and it can be said that the rarer the color, the higher might be the price of the Neapolitan Mastiff.

Age & Gender

Usually, puppies and younger canines tend to cost more compared to older or fully-grown pooches. Also, male dogs are sometimes sold at a higher price than their female counterparts.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred dog 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 is easily available in a location or region tend to cost less compared to the pooches that are harder to find in that region. In case of Neapolitan Mastiffs, as their availability is not that great in most parts of India, the overall price of these pooches is quite high especially compared to those dogs who are easily available.

Reputed Breeder

If you are getting your pooch from a well-known, popular and reputed breeder, then again, its price can go fairly high. It is often seen that well-known breeders tend to charge more as compared to those breeders who are not as popular as them.

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.
