But what if your dream dog breed costs too much?
To help you prepare and better understand what's behind the value of each puppy, the Animal Expert has set aside a list with the ten most expensive dog breeds in Brazil.
how much does it cost to have a dog
Who has a dog, rarely think about how much it costs to have a dog in everyday life. For many people, this value comes down to the ration and an occasional visit to the vet because they are the ones who bathe, clean the kennel/bed and give attention. Now, when you have a large number of dogs, the thing multiplies and the smallest of details gains great proportions.
A serious breeder will provide excellent quality feed, maintain a routine of visits to the veterinarian (which includes a series of vaccinations and care that many owners simply ignore), baths with special products to ensure that the animals are free of parasites, and lots of effort to keep the kennel clean and the puppies healthy. Also, it is important to keep in mind that not all puppies will be sold. Depending on the breed, the pattern is so specific that any individuality can mischaracterize the puppy, causing it to lose its commercial value.
So, in addition to the high maintenance cost for serious breeders, the return is not as advantageous or as guaranteed as it seems. Not to mention the initial investment to get healthy adult dogs to start breeding. Also take into account that the more people want a specific breed, the more the breeder can charge to cover the costs. That's why many dog breeds are really expensive.
What are the most expensive dog breeds in Brazil?
When searching for more expensive breeds, it is common for the lists to bring types of dogs that are internationally famous for their price, but which often do not exist in Brazil. With that in mind, we conducted a survey with the largest pet stores and breeders and separated the 10 most expensive dog breeds in Brazil.
Belgian Shepherd – can reach R$6,000
In fact, this breed has four variations: Groenendael, Laekenois, Tervuren and Malinois. Among them, Groenendael is the most common in the country and visually resembles a German Shepherd, but black. In other words, it has the same elongated snout, the same size, the same pointed ears, with the difference of having longer and fuller fur. Like most pastors, it's very energetic and needs space, as well as being very smart..
Terra Nova (Newfoundland) – can reach R$6,000
Famous for its fondness for water, the Terra Nova is often used as a lifeguard dog. Its body has adaptations that make it a great swimmer and its large size guarantees strength to rescue people, toys and even fishing nets. However, despite the imposing size, he is very docile, calm and kind. This is one of the biggest dogs in the world.
Samoyed – can reach R$6,500
Saying that this breed originates from Siberia should help to understand a lot about it. They can be white as snow or cream, with a long coat, ideal for people living in the cold regions of the country. They have been used a lot for pulling sleds and, like dogs of this type, they have a lot of energy and need regular physical activity. This is one of the breeds considered to be the most beautiful puppies in the world.
Bull Terrier – can reach R$6,500
Originally bred to be a fighting dog, the Bull Terrier was later adapted to be a calmer and more affectionate dog. Often confused with Pit Bull, it is distinguished by its tendency to be more playful. As it is a bit brusque in its games, it is not a suitable breed to have with very young children. remember too, without too much activity the attention of that mighty jaw can turn against your furniture.
French Bulldog - can reach R$8,500
One of the friendliest puppies on this list, this variation of the classic Bulldog is slimmer, smaller and with “bat ears”. Another difference, which is very important, is the fact that they are much more energetic than their English cousins. However, like most flat-snouted breeds, the French Bulldog has a shorter life expectancy, rarely living more than 10 years. See our article on the problems of the French bulldog breed.
English Bulldog – can reach R$10,000
This is the classic Bulldog with its big cheeks, protruding jaw and droopy eyes. His blasé face is no coincidence, dogs of this breed tend to be lazy and more like them. However, when they decide to play, be prepared to see things falling around the house. They are brusque and not at all delicate, real bulls (bull) clumsy, but this only adds to the charm of the breed for those who like it.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – can reach R$10,500
Imagine a Cocker Spaniel that will look like a puppy forever. The Cavalier is so adorable that they are said to have become an obsession of King Charles II to the point that they have their names associated to this day. They are ideal for those looking for a lap dog, both for their small size, and for their calm and docility. Great for the whole family.
Pit Bull Blue Nose – can reach R$12,000
The Pit Bull breed is so surrounded by controversy that it's hard to find someone you don't know, but in Brazil there is a coloration much more expensive than the others. Known as the Blue Nose, or Blue Nose, Pit Bulls of this type tend to have a slightly bluish dark gray color. Like other types of dogs of the breed, they are gentle and cheerful, but they need to be socialized to prevent them from becoming possessive.
Rottweiler - can reach R$12,900
Before the Pit Bull, the Rottweiler was long considered a violent breed and used as guard dogs. However, those who know the type of dogs know that it is more a matter of size and grandeur associated with a more introspective personality. They must be socialized from an early age so that they become gentle and calm animals with strangers., otherwise they can become quite territorial.
German Spitz – can reach R$16,000
Also known as Lulu of Pomerania, it is part of the Spitz group (same as Samoyed), dogs from the northern regions of the globe bred to resist snow. However, unlike its sled-pulling cousins, Lulu has been shrunk to become a lap version. Like other small dogs, it is extremely energetic and playful, with a slight tendency to become rude when given no limits. But this is easier said than done. How to resist the temptation to pamper these fur balls? No wonder they are overall the most expensive breed of dog in the country. This breed is considered one of the most expensive dog breeds in the world.
