Four Important Factors Affecting Schnauzer Prices
Schnauzer (Detailed Introduction)
Schnauzers are a type of terrier, and their distinctive whiskers around the mouth make them look completely different from other dogs. In addition, because Schnauzers are friendly to people, intelligent, and lively, they are loved by many families. Walking through various pet trading markets, you may find that the prices of different Schnauzers vary greatly. Generally speaking, Schnauzer prices are influenced by the following four factors.
1. Size
Schnauzers come in three sizes: Miniature, Standard, and Giant. Normally, many people would think that the larger the dog, the higher the price, but this rule does not apply to Schnauzer transactions. The price of Miniature Schnauzers is currently the highest, with an average price of 1300 yuan, while Standard and Giant Schnauzers have average prices of only 1100 yuan and 1000 yuan respectively.
2. Quality
The better the appearance and the purer the bloodline, the higher the dog’s price naturally is. Under the same circumstances, purebred Schnauzers cost 500-1000 yuan more than regular Schnauzers.
3. Region
Schnauzers in economically developed regions such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have higher prices, while other regions are slightly cheaper.
4. Source
Dogs bred by families or individuals are cheaper than those in trading markets. Moreover, because home-raised Schnauzers generally undergo regular immunizations, the likelihood of ill dogs is very low. However, many online sellers claim to have home-raised dogs, but in reality, these are dog farms deliberately making such claims to attract buyers. Friends who want to buy Schnauzers need to be aware and able to distinguish these.
Since Schnauzer prices vary greatly by location, if you want to buy a dog with high cost performance, it’s best to start with people around you who raise Schnauzers. They understand the market better and might help you buy a dog bred by an individual through various connections. If you must buy a dog from a pet trading market, you should first learn about the basic market conditions for Schnauzers and acquire some basic skills for identifying Schnauzers to avoid buying mixed breeds, defective, or ill dogs.
