More details about the Portuguese Warren Hound

Portuguese Warren Hound: Purchase price

The price of a Portuguese Warren hound varies depending on their origins, variety, age and gender. There is no reliable information that outlines the cost of acquisition for a puppy registered with the KC, particularly due to the breed’s very weak representation, especially in their home country.
 
The average budget needed to support the needs of a dog of this size, varies of course with size. One would have to spend around £20 a month for the smaller size, £30 for the medium size and £40 for the largest.
