How expensive is a King Charles cavalier spaniel?

Answer 1

Someone posted on here that they cost around $600..think again! A well bred AKC registered cavalier from a quality breeder will cost around $1200 up. It can go way up from there, we paid over $2,000 for our cavalier (both parents are champions, dad is the #1 dog in Canada and in the top 20 in the US) and that's considered a pretty normal price tag. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

because they are pure bred

or,

There are probably as many answers to this as there are breeders who sell Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies. But here are certainly some of the reasons Cavaliers may be expensive compared to other dog breeds.

• Although Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have gained in popularity in recent years, they are still not a very common breed of dog in much of the world. As the demand for these adorable little dogs rises, breeders cannot immediately supply as many puppies as are requested and therefore, find themselves able to charge higher prices.

• The fact that news reports of celebrities (from actors to politicians) owning Cavalier King Charles Spaniels as pets only increases this breed's visibility and desirability, thereby making it easier to sell these dogs at premium prices.

• Breeders can also make a convincing argument that raising Cavaliers is an expensive business and they charge high prices to offset their investment in their breeding operation. The primary issue would be raising healthy dogs, given that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have a number of hereditary issues (predominantly mitral valve disease). A reputable breeder will spend more to buy healthy breeding pairs and may be forced to stop breeding some of his dogs if they appear to be handing down unhealthy characteristics to their offspring.

- The Cavalier King Charles Breed was also well known in Europe for a time. They lived in the palace with King Charles in the 17 or 18 hundreds. Witch is also part of their name.

Answer 3

Actually, the price of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are usually around $2,000. Yes that is a lot but if you really learned about this breed you would know they are VERY great show dogs and can win a lot of money for a lucky person. This breed is also rare, very rare and if you see one on sale it will be gone before you know it.

Answer 4

A lot! If you buy a pure breed not from a shelter any dog will cost a lot of money. It all depends where you buy it from. You wont find many at all but even less will you see them in shelters. Mine was from Puppy Plus and cost $100,000. I know a lot of money.
