Adopting a Chow Chow

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Chow Chow - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

Chow Chows cost around $300 when adopted from a shelter or rescue. Buying a Chow Chow from a breeder can cost between $1,000 and $4,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Chow Chow is through a rescue that specializes in Chow Chows. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Chow Chows in your area.

The cost of purchasing a Chow Chow dog can vary widely depending on factors such as the dog's pedigree, lineage, location, and breeder reputation. On average, Chow Chow puppies from reputable breeders may range from $1,000 to $4,000 or more. Show-quality Chow Chows or those from champion bloodlines may be priced higher. It’s essential to thoroughly research breeders, consider adoption options, and budget for the long-term care of a Chow Chow before bringing one into your home.
