OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG PRICE IN INDIA

The Old English Sheepdogs are lively and playful canines that hail from the United Kingdom. This is an easily recognizable breed mainly because of its heavily coated body and fluffy appearance. These dogs are very sociable and affable in nature and are considered to be amazing four-legged companions.

In India, the availability and demand for this breed is not that great. These dogs are not very tolerant of high temperatures and heat and they require a good amount of care and attention from their human parents if they are raised in a hot country or region. Also, these pooches are a bit pricey to bring home and then maintain properly. And because of these reasons, the demand for the Old English Sheepdogs is pretty mediocre in this country.

Factors Affecting the Old English Sheepdog Price in India

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

Type

There are three different price categories for an Old English Sheepdog (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 Old English Sheepdog puppy can cost anywhere around ₹50,000.
• 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

The Old English Sheepdogs are found in a lot of different coat colors such as Blue & White, Blue Grey & White, Blue Merle & White, Grey & White, Grizzle & White. And, as we know, physical features such coat colors can influence the overall price of a canine, thus the price of Old English Sheepdogs can also vary based on the rarity of the coat color that they are found in. The rarer the color, the higher might be the price of these pooches.

Age & Gender

Generally, puppies and younger dogs cost a bit more than the older or fully-grown dogs. Also, male pooches tend to cost more when compared to the female canines. And this is how, age and gender play a role in influencing the overall price of a pooch.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Old English Sheepdog 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 availability of Old English Sheepdogs is pretty mediocre in this country. And as we know, canines that are not that easily available in a region tend to cost more compared to the pooches that are readily available. Thus, the price of the Old English Sheepdogs is a bit on the higher side.

Also, dogs that you get from a nearby location tend to cost less compared to the pooches that are available at a faraway location. This is because when you get a canine from a faraway location, extra charges such as traveling expenses also gets added to the overall cost of the canine.

Reputed Breeder

Canines that you get from a reputed and popular breeder also tend to cost more when compared to pooches who are bought from a smaller or not-so popular breeder.

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.
