The Scottish Terriers are highly fearless and feisty canines that hail from Scotland. These pooches are known for their bold and playful personality. If not trained properly, these dogs don’t get along that well with other canines but when it comes to their human parents, family members and loved ones, these pooches are highly affectionate, kind and devoted to them.

In India, the demand for the Scottish Terriers is pretty mediocre. These pooches can make a decent house pet for a lot of people out there. They are fairly adaptable and apartment friendly in nature, they have decent tolerance to both high and low temperatures which means they can be comfortably raised in most parts of the world, they are pretty intelligent and have a decent watchdog ability and finally, considering it is an exotic breed, the overall price of these canines is not very high. Only thing to note is that these canines are a bit hard to train and that’s why they are mostly recommended to experienced dog parents only.

Factors Affecting the Scottish Terrier Price in India

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

Type

There are three different price categories for a Scottish Terrier 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 Scottish Terrier puppy can cost anywhere around ₹30,000.
  • 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 Scottish Terriers can be found in a lot of different coat colors such as Black, Brindle, Wheaton, Black Brindle, Red Brindle, Silver Brindle and based on the rarity of the coat color, the price of these canines may vary. The rarer the color, the higher might be the price. And, this is how physical features such as the color of the coat of a canine can influence its overall price.

Age & Gender

It is quite normal for a breeder to sell puppies and young dogs at a higher price as compared to matured or older canines. Also, many breeders are also known to sell male dogs at a bit of a higher price as compared to the female pooches.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Scottish Terrier 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

Generally, dogs that are not that easily available in a region tend to cost more compared to the canines that are fairly easy to find. But in case of Scottish Terriers, these pooches have a subpar availability in the country, still the overall price of these canines is not very high, especially considering it is an exotic breed.

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.
