Siberian Husky Puppy Price (Breeder)
A puppy from an American Kennel Club registered breeder with health certified parents will cost more than a puppy from a pet store or puppy farm.
There is a chance that a puppy will be sold for $1,000 to $2,500. Price differences are caused by things like puppy welfare and registration charges.
Different breeders have different prices for their puppies. Puppies from the same litter can be priced differently.
A pure white is very rare and expensive. If you want one of these puppies, you’re going to have to pay upwards of $2,000.
Some puppies have wooly coats instead of the traditional double-layer coat. The coated husks are cheaper.
It is not recommended to buy a husky puppy from a pet store. You can’t assure the quality of the dog or the care, and you can’t meet the parents. You don’t know if the puppy was bred from a good one.
Buying through classified ads is a cheap option. For the same reasons as pet stores, buying from classified ads is not a good idea. They don’t ethically breed their dogs or screen them for health problems. Many husky puppies are born with lifelong health issues.
It’s the most responsible option to purchase from a professional breeder.
Reputable breeders put a lot of time and effort into raising puppies so the price doesn’t go to profit.
Husky Price (Adoption)
Due to their cost and training difficulties, the number of huskies surrendered at shelters has increased in the last few years. Behavioral issues, difficulty training and high energy personality are some of the reasons.
Adoption is cheaper than buying a puppy from a breeder.
Senior dogs are the cheapest to adopt, and they get more expensive as they get younger.
Many rescues will charge hundreds of dollars for a puppy. The price is usually based on how much it cost to care for the puppy. Food, housing, and veterinary bills are included in this care.
Senior dogs will cost less if you are not interested in adopting a puppy. Some run as low as $125. Older dogs are more likely to be housebroken because they are more mellow.
It’s cheaper to rescue a dog than it is to give one a new home.
Remember to research potential rescue groups to make sure they take care of their dogs. Reputable rescues will arrange a home visit for the dog before it is adopted.
Waiting for re-homing is a possibility.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, some people who buy a husky can no longer take care of them. A re-homing fee can be anywhere from $100 to $400. You could end up buying a dog with severe behavior issues if you don’t know the true reasons for the dog being re- homed.
Most Expensive
Agouti is the most expensive coat color. It is one of the rare colors for the breed. An agouti has a dark coat with grey to tan highlights.
This color makes a husky look like a wolf, but they should not be confused for a Malamute.
The reason that agouti is so rare is that breeders rarely breed for it. The best place to find an agouti is through sled dog breeders, where the color is more common. The most expensive agouti husky will cost over $3000.
A dog with a different sex will be more expensive than a dog with the same sex.
Heterochromia is when each eye is different. A dog has one brown and one blue eye. The blue husky eye is considered a ghost eye by some Native American cultures. There is a reason a husky can sell for over $2,000.
Rarest
The Sakhalin Husky is the most rare breed. They were bred to be sled dogs. The sole breeder of these dogs in Japan passed away in 2012 and stated they are not enough individuals to promote the genetic diversity needed for the breed to continue.
Seven of these dogs are living on their native island.
After a Japanese research expedition went awry, this breed rose into international fame. The team evacuated fifteen Sakhalin Huskies.
The researchers intended for a rescue team to retrieve the dogs, who were left with only a few days of food. The dogs were never recovered because of the poor weather.
They were shocked to discover that two of their friends, Taro and Jiro, were still alive a year later. They hunted penguins and seals to survive on the ice.
In Japan, monuments were built in the honor of Taro and Jiro.
Food
The cost of food for the husky will depend on their age, size and activity levels. They need about three cups of food per day. A good quality dog food costs about $65 per month. The food bill will be more expensive if you feed a raw diet.
The average price of a can of dog food is $1.25, some owners prefer canned food. Your dog will eat two cans a day, 60 cans a month, and cost you about $75 a month.
When making your food budget, remember to consider the cost of treats and supplements. It’s easy to add an extra $30 to your monthly bill.
If you thought your husky only needed to eat food, think again.
You will need to purchase chews and bones to keep their teeth clean. The cost of dog treats and dental chews can be as high as $20 a bag.
After feeding, it will need rest and toys to be mentally stimulating.
