How Much Should a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Cost?

Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs are also known as Swissys.

Look at Reputable Breeders

Greater Swiss Mountain dog puppies can range from $1,500 to $2,500. Because most breeders will take back puppies that do not work out in their new home, you may be able to find an adult dog from a breeder as well. Be warned that those charging less may be "fire selling" puppies because they are having difficulty finding homes.

Find a Swissy at a Rescue

An adoption donation ranging from $200 to $600 is requested at the time of the adoption at the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Rescue Foundation.

Bottom Line

How much you spend on a Swissy will depend on what your ultimate goals are. If you are certain you want a dog you can take to dog shows and possibly breed later on, your best chance at success will be to purchase a dog from a breeder who has proven winners in the show ring. If you just want a companion, picking a Swissy from a shelter or rescue situation may suit you just fine.
