How much an Italian Greyhound costs: the short answer
By adverts in early October 2026, an Italian Greyhound puppy in Russia costs roughly 60 to 200 thousand roubles. Breeders more often ask 100–150 thousand, private sellers 60–80 thousand.
These figures are only a snapshot of the market on a date. What to know:
- Price depends on the kennel, the papers, the parents and the region.
- A cheap puppy without papers is not a saving: you know neither the breed nor the health.
- Besides the purchase there are running costs: food, vet, vaccinations, teeth, clothing.
- “Mini”, “micro” and “rare colour” at a higher price are a reason to be wary, not to pay extra.
Italian Greyhound puppy prices in 2026
In early October 2026 Kinpet carried adverts for Italian Greyhound puppies from various Russian cities. Prices in roubles:
| City | Price | Seller | Puppy’s age |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rostov-on-Don | 65,000 | private | 5 months |
| Rostov-on-Don | 80,000 | private | 6 months |
| Anapa | 60,000 | private | 5 months |
| Perm | 75,000 | breeder | 6 months |
| Podolsk | 150,000 | breeder | 2 months |
| Nizhny Novgorod | 150,000 | breeder | 5 months |
| Saratov | up to 200,000 | breeder | not stated |
According to one aggregator, offers of around 200 thousand turn up in Moscow. This is not a statistic or an official price list but a snapshot of adverts on 7 October 2026. The adverts often do not say which papers come with the puppy or its class. Prices can change.
What drives the price
- Papers. A puppy with an RKF puppy card and pedigree costs more than one without.
- Kennel and parents. The price reflects the breeder’s reputation, the parents’ health checks and show titles.
- Puppy class. Kennels usually grade puppies by purpose (pet, breeding, show). A pet-class puppy is enough for a home.
- Region. Moscow and St Petersburg prices are higher than in the regions.
- Age. An older, already vaccinated puppy may be priced differently from a baby.
- Colour and size. Under the standard, colour and size should not justify a premium. “Rare colour” and “mini” are a sign of advertising. More in our articles on colours and on the mini Italian Greyhound.
Where not to save
A cheap Italian Greyhound without papers and checks can turn out expensive to keep. You risk getting:
- a dog of unknown breed and origin;
- health problems you did not know about (bones, teeth, knees);
- no chance to take part in shows and breeding.
The puppy’s parents should have had the health checks the breed club recommends (knees, eyes, thyroid, DNA tests). More in our article on choosing a puppy.
What the puppy price includes
When you buy from a breeder you usually get:
- a puppy with a microchip or tattoo;
- the puppy card (metrika);
- a vet passport with vaccinations and treatments;
- a sales contract;
- the breeder’s advice.
The pedigree is issued later from the puppy card. Before buying, ask the breeder exactly what the price includes.
Costs after buying
The puppy’s price is not the only money. A dog brings running costs. We give no exact figures for them here: they depend on region, clinic and the food chosen. But the cost items are:
- Food and treats. It is easy to overfeed an Italian Greyhound, so feeding to the right amount matters. More in our article on feeding.
- Vet. Vaccinations, parasite treatments, check-ups and treatment if needed. A yearly vet check of the teeth, and professional cleaning is done under anesthesia.
- Teeth. Paste, brush, dental treats and a cleaning at the vet. Dental disease is a common problem.
- Clothing. An Italian Greyhound copes poorly with cold and damp, so in season you need garments: a sweater, a raincoat, a suit. The budget depends on the model; we explain how to choose in our clothing guide.
- Equipment. Harness, lead, ID tag, bed.
- Insurance and the unexpected. A leg injury in a young Italian Greyhound usually needs surgery. A safety cushion will be useful.
Work it out from the price list of your clinic and the food you choose: it will be more precise than any average.
How not to overpay
- Compare several kennels and adverts.
- Do not pay for a “rare colour” or “mini”.
- Do not prepay strangers.
- Check the papers and the kennel on RKF.Online.
- Find out what the price includes.
