NORWEGIAN ELKHOUND PRICE IN INDIA

The Norwegian Elkhounds are medium-sized compactly built canines that hail from Norway. These pooches are quite intelligent, bold and playful in nature. They are quite protective of their human parents and family members and they mostly remain very alert and aware of their surroundings. Their watchdog ability is also quite praiseworthy as well.

In India, these pooches are considered a rarity as there is a very little demand and availability of this breed in the country. But this might gradually change because these canines can be an awesome option for a house pet for a lot of Indians out there. The Norwegian Elkhounds are very adaptable in nature, they not only can comfortably thrive in colder regions but they are good to be raised in hotter regions as well, they are very affectionate and loyal to their close ones and they are great with small kids as well and finally, these pooches are not that pricey to bring home and then maintain properly, especially considering it is an exotic and rare breed.

A good breeder not only cares about the potential dog parents’ needs and requirements but most importantly he cares about the health and quality of the canines that he is providing to them. By getting the pup from a reliable breeder, you are not only getting a fully fit and healthy pooch, but you also get the much-needed peace of mind and a sense of contentment. Therefore, to assure that you are bringing home only the best quality and healthiest canines, you should always look for them at a trustworthy breeder’s place only.

Factors Affecting the Norwegian Elkhound Price in India

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

Type

There are three different price categories for a Norwegian Elkhound 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 Norwegian Elkhound 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 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

The Norwegian Elkhounds are found in a lot of different coat colors such as Black & Grey, Black & Silver, Black White & Silver, Grey & Black, Grey Black & Silver, Silver & Black, Silver Grey & Black and based on the rarity of the coat color, the overall price of these canines might vary. The rarer the color of the coat, the higher might be the price of these pooches.

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 Norwegian Elkhound 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 dogs that are harder to find in a region tend to cost more compared to the canines that are easily available in that region. But in case of Norwegian Elkhounds, although these pooches have a very low availability in the country, still, the overall price of these dogs is on a fairly lower side, especially considering it is an exotic breed.

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.
