Greyhound Prices

Average Greyhound Price: $750 - $1000

Price always varies when it comes to the purchase of a quality, home-raised healthy Greyhound dog or puppy. It's of utmost importance that you place the most weight on acquiring a great Greyhound puppy from a highly responsible, reputable breeder, and put the price as a secondary concern in making your decision.

Buying a Greyhound dog or puppy at a cheap price from a breeder of questionable reputation can be a one-way ticket to heartbreak and great additional expense throughout the dog's life, should your Greyhound puppy have hereditary health problems or behavior and temperament issues (which very often is the case with cheap-priced puppies). Buying from a highly reputable Greyhound breeder is your best insurance for acquiring a well socialized, healthy puppy of stable temperament.

Greyhound prices also will vary according to the puppy's conformation; puppies placed as pets and companions will generally be less expensive as show-quality Greyhound puppies intended to be shown in conformation.

Finding Greyhound Puppies For Sale By Reputable Breeders

If you are ready to add an adorable Greyhound puppy to your family, be sure to check out Dogs and Puppies Central's directory of Greyhound Puppies For Sale, where you will find photos and information posted by reputable Greyhound breeders. We actively screen Greyhound breeders who wish to advertise on our service by asking that they meet and follow our Guidelines For Responsible Dog Breeders. We also ask for - and check - three references from each breeder.

By performing an initial dog breeder screening, it is our hope that we can help put you in touch with a caring, responsible Greyhound breeder near you. We cannot physically inspect the premises and dogs owned by breeders advertising with us, so you need to be responsible for doing the final inspection and interview.

Let's stop the cruelty of puppy mills. Please help us keep money out of the hands of puppy mills, back yard breeders and pet stores. Buy your Greyhound puppy only from a responsible, caring hobby breeder that raises their dogs and puppies in a loving home environment.

When you locate that perfect Greyhound puppy - please be sure to send us some photos to be included in our growing gallery of Greyhound dog and puppy pictures!
