FAQs
How much do Greyhounds cost in Hobart?
If your pups come from a breeder with high pedigree parents or if there was a large litter with plenty of puppies to sell, there are lots of influences on the price you can expect to buy a Greyhound puppy for.
Generally, Greyhound puppies can cost anything between $2,000 all the way up to $10,000 in your area.
If this is a bit too hefty for your wallet, we can recommend making an appointment with someone from your local Greyhound Adoption Program, where you could adopt one of these dogs for about $200 - $300 and give them a second chance at a new forever home.
What paperwork should come with a Greyhound puppy in Hobart?
Your Greyhound puppy should come with the following documents from a reputable breeder:
- Pedigree Papers and certificates by your local Greyhound association in Tasmania
- Date of birth / Age
- Sales Contract
- Puppy Return Policy
- Vet and Health Checks
- Microchip number
- Vaccination and de-worming records
Is it safe to buy a Greyhound puppy online?
There is lots of online advertising around which is claiming to offer puppies from a reputable breeder at low prices, which you should definitely stay away from. Unless you have been in personal contact with a breeder or one of their partners and have provided the above documents, never purchase any pet online.
How can I protect myself when buying Greyhounds in Hobart?
In order to make sure you are purchasing your pets safely and are not falling victim to scammers that are trying to trick you with their ads, here are some things future dog parents can do to protect themselves:
- Make personal contact with the person and ask lots of questions
- Ask for lots of photos or videos of the pets the person or website is claiming to have
