Factors Affecting the Rhodesian Ridgeback Price in India

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

Type

There are three different price categories for a Rhodesian Ridgeback (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 Rhodesian Ridgeback 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

Physical attributes such as the different colors of the coat of a canine can also influence its overall price. But as the Rhodesian Ridgebacks are only found in 3 colors which are very similar to one another (Red, Red Wheaten & Light Wheaten), the overall price of this breed is not affected that much by its coat colors.

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 Rhodesian Ridgeback 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

We know that canines who are easily available in a region tend to cost less compared to the pooches who are not that readily available. And as the Rhodesian Ridgebacks have a low availability in this country and are in general, pretty hard to find in several parts of India, the overall price of these canines is a bit on the higher side.

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.
