Check our available puppies for the current Shiba Inu price
Sometimes you find Shiba Inu puppies on sales sites (Kapaza, 2dehands, Marktplaats, etc…) at abnormally low prices. Often, these are ads from scammers!
They sometimes use a copy of our existing advertisement on a sales site, illegally use our photos, but change the email address. If you call or email them, you get a response in poor Dutch.
You also cannot visit the puppies: they ask you to pay a deposit. The puppy will be delivered to your home. But, unfortunately… for the home delivery, they will contact you again, saying that there are problems, the dog needs to be re-vaccinated, needs to stay in quarantine: there are additional costs involved.
Many deceived dog owners send back money…. until they finally realize they are dealing with scammers. You can file a complaint, but unfortunately you will not get your money back. The Federal Public Service (FPS) economy has thousands of complaints pending.
Buy a Shiba Inu puppy from a recognized breeder
When considering the purchase of a Shiba Inu, it is crucial to choose a reliable and responsible breeder.
Although the price of a Shiba Inu from a recognized breeder may be higher than from other sources, there are numerous benefits associated with it that can be advantageous in the long run. A reputable breeder ensures that the puppies grow up in a healthy and safe environment, with the right nutrition and socialization.
Furthermore, when you buy from a professional breeder, you are guaranteed that the Shiba Inu puppy is free from hereditary conditions, as they carefully select the parent animals based on health and temperament.
Finally, a breeder often offers lifelong support and advice, which can be invaluable when raising your new family member. By investing in a Shiba Inu from a reliable breeder, you not only contribute to the preservation of the breed but also ensure that you bring home a healthy and happy dog.
Factors that determine the Shiba Inu price
When considering the purchase of a Shiba Inu puppy, it is important to take into account the various factors that can influence the price. First, the reputation and experience of the breeder play a significant role in the final costs. A reputable breeder with a proven track record will often charge higher prices, but this can provide a guarantee for the health and quality of the puppy. Pedigree and genetic background are also important factors; puppies with pure lineage will generally be more expensive.
Additionally, the location and availability of puppies affect the price. In areas where Shiba Inus are more popular, prices may be higher due to increased demand. Moreover, transportation costs can increase the price if you have to pick up the puppy from a distance. Finally, age and gender play a role in price determination. Younger puppies are often more expensive than older dogs, and sometimes breeders may charge a higher price for puppies of a specific gender, depending on demand. By taking all these factors into account, you can make an informed decision when choosing the perfect Shiba Inu puppy for your family.

Before you buy or adopt a dog, you should consider whether the dog’s characteristics fit your home, budget, and lifestyle. We distinguish about 10 groups of dogs, ranging from lap dogs to hunting dogs. Dog breeds vary in activity level, barking, alertness, hunting instinct, size, coat care, and so on. Visit multiple breeders and request information from breed associations. This way, you can discover which type of dog suits you. The questions below can help you on your way:
- Why do you want to bring a dog into your home? Mainly for companionship, or to guard, to exercise together, or to participate in shows?
- What traits should the dog have to fit your life?
- How often will you actively engage with the dog?
- How strong should their hunting instinct be? Are there still cats, rabbits, or sheep nearby that could be endangered by the dog?
- Do you want a puppy or rather an adult dog, and do you have time for the (re)training and adjustment period?
- How much time and money can you spend on (coat) care? Is the Shiba Inu price okay?
