FAQs
How much do Dalmatians cost in Hobart?
You will likely pay between $1,000 - $3,500 for Dalmatian puppies in your area. This heavily depends on the availability of a litter and the pedigree of the puppies for sale.
If this is too hefty for your wallet, you can always consider adoption, which is a lot less costly and will give a dog that is currently in a shelter the second chance of finding a loving forever home.
What paperwork should come with a Dalmatian puppy in Hobart?
Dalmatian puppies are purebred dogs, meaning the correct documents are of great importance with these dogs. No matter the breeder, you should always request to get the following paperwork and services provided upon purchase:
- Pedigree Papers and certificates by your local association
- Date of birth / Age
- Sales Contract
- Puppy Return Policy
- Vet and Health Checks
- Microchip number
- Vaccination and de-worming records
Lots of breeders also provide a personal letter and goodie bag for you and your dog, with tips and tricks on how to train and raise a puppy and perhaps a toy for your dog to play with.
Is it safe to buy a Dalmatian puppy online?
If you see ads on Facebook or any other website advertising puppies for sale, you should always make sure that you are not falling victim to a scammer. Puppy mills that offer puppies of low quality with potential health problems or that are simply too young to be separated from their family are also common on classified ad sites.
In order for you to safely purchase a puppy, we advise against paying for dogs or any other pets directly online and rather follow the tips below:
