SHAR-PEI PRICE IN INDIA

Shar-Pei is a medium-sized canine with a cute and wrinkly face. This dog hails from China and is known for its quiet and reserved personality. Shar-Pei canines are considered to be decent apartment dogs as they don’t require a lot of space and are happy to spend a lot of their time in their beds or in the company of their loved ones.

In India, the demand for this breed is pretty mediocre and there are a lot of reasons for that. Shar-Pei canines are not that tolerant to heat and high temperatures and thus they do require a good amount of care and attention from their parents especially in the summer season. These pooches are also not that easy to train and thus they are not recommended to first-time or novice dog parents. And, these dogs are a bit pricey to bring home and maintain.

Given below is the average price list of the Shar-Pei puppies which are available in various variations.

• Shar-Pei Puppy price (Basic): ₹40,000 to ₹50,000
• Shar-Pei Puppy price (KCI registered): ₹50,000 to ₹65,000
• Shar-Pei Puppy price (Show Quality): ₹65,000 to ₹95,000

Now, if you are thinking of bringing home a Shar-Pei puppy and you want to get this canine from a breeder, then it is important that you get it only from a reputable breeder. A good breeder will only provide you a fit and healthy canine whose quality would already be certified by various kennel clubs and he will also give you all the necessary details and tips about the needs and requirements of the pup that you are interested in. Also, a good breeder prioritizes the health of the pups and the needs of potential dog parents over everything else and he would provide all this at a fair price. So, it is extremely crucial both for you and your soon-to-be pet that you get it only from a trustworthy source as that way you are ensuring the quality and fitness of the canine and also you are getting a sense of contentment.

Factors Affecting the Shar-Pei Price in India

Now there are various factors that can affect the original Shar-Pei price in India. These factors are as follows:

Type

There are three different price categories for a Shar-Pei 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 Shar-Pei puppy can cost anywhere around ₹40,000.
• 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 features such as coat color or coat texture can also influence the overall price of a pooch. Shar-Pei canines are found in a lot of different colors and based upon the rarity of the coat color, the price of this breed may vary. Different coat colors for this breed are – Black, Brown, Cream, Fawn, Sable, Red, Tan and Blue.

Also, Shar-Pei dogs are found in three different types which are formed on the basis of slight variation in their coats (different lengths and textures). These types are – Brush Coat Shar-Pei, Horse Coat Shar-Pei and Bear Coat Shar-Pei and this can again influence the overall price of this breed.

Age & Gender

Generally, male puppies or male dogs are sold at a higher price than the female canines. And, young dogs and puppies usually cost more to bring home than old and fully grown dogs.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Shar-Pei 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

Canines that are harder to find in a particular area or location tend to cost more than the pooches who are easily available in that region. In case of Shar-Pei canines, as their availability is not that great in most parts of India, the price of these pooches is on a higher side compared to those dogs who are readily available.

Reputed Breeder

Usually, reputed and popular breeders are known to sell dogs and puppies at a price that is higher than the breeders who are not as popular or well-known as them. But people don't usually mind spending a little extra money if they are getting their desired pooch from a reliable and reputed source.

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.
