SHIBA INU PRICE IN INDIA

Often confused with Akita Inu, Shiba Inu is also a very faithful and charming canine that hails from Japan. These dogs are quite affectionate and loving towards their family members and close ones and they are also known for their awesome watchdog abilities and guarding instincts.

Shibas have a mediocre demand and availability in India. These dogs are not commonly seen in this country and the main reason for that might be their price as these dogs can be a bit pricey to bring home. But if price is not an issue for someone, then Shibas are a great option for a pet for a lot of people out there. These pooches are highly adaptable and apartment-friendly, they have low grooming needs, they are very loyal to their human parents and loved ones and they have decent tolerance to heat and high temperatures which is great if these dogs are to be raised in a hot country like India.

Given below is the average price list of the Shiba Inu puppies which are available in various variations.

• Shiba Inu Puppy price (Basic): ₹55,000 to ₹75,000
• Shiba Inu Puppy price (KCI registered): ₹75,000 to ₹1,00,000
• Shiba Inu Puppy price (Show Quality): ₹1,00,000 to ₹1,40,000

Now, if you are planning to bring home a Shiba Inu and you want to get this canine from a breeder, then your main focus should be on getting it from a trusted and reputed breeder only. A trustworthy breeder will not only provide a fit and healthy pup to you but he will also provide you important details about the canine like the information about the sire and dam of the pooch, any health-related concerns et cetera. He will also guide you and eliminate all the confusions that you might have about the needs and requirements of the pup that you want to raise as a pet.

Factors Affecting the Shiba Inu Price in India

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

Type

There are three different price categories for a Shiba Inu (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 Shiba puppy can cost anywhere around ₹55,000.
• 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 the color of the coat of a canine can also affect its overall price. As Shibas are found in a lot of different coat colors, their price might vary depending upon the rarity of the coat color. Different colors in which Shibas are found in are – Black & Gold, Black & Tan, Cream, Tan, Sesame, Red Sesame and Black Sesame.

Age & Gender

Generally, male canines tend to cost more compared to the female pooches. And, puppies and younger dogs are also known to have a higher price when compared to older or fully-grown canines.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Shiba Inu 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

Dogs which are in demand and are easier to find in a particular location are known to cost fairly less than the pooches who are not that easily available and have a lower demand. Since, Shibas’ availability is not that great in most parts of India, the overall price of this breed is quite high when compared to some other breeds who are easier to find.

Reputed Breeder

Reputed breeders are known to sell dogs at a fairly higher price compared to other breeders who are not that well-known or popular. But generally, the quality and health of the canines are also fairly better at a reputed breeder's place.

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.
