Honestly, I wouldn’t know as we don’t keep a dog and also don’t intend to do so as space is limited in Shanghainese apartments and the last thing I’ll ever consider is getting a dog smaller than a rat. So, no, no dog for me. But for China’s nouveaux riches the Tibetan Mastiff is apparently a status symbol worth paying more, as it’s a rare breed. More than 30,000 RMb for a puppy and grown males are valued up to 300,000 Rmb.
The Times has added a list for reference of dog prices in China (not sure how accurate they are so please fill in if you have ever bought a canine here in Shanghai)
China’s top dogs
Pekinese 500 yuan
Dachshund 1,000 yuan
Basset hound 3,000 yuan
White wire fox terrier 1,500 yuan
Pomeranian 800 yuan
Picture: Tibetan Mastiff Info
Sounds about right, we’re budgeting about RMB 2000.

What kind of dog are you planning to buy?

If I understand correctly you also need to pay some sort of fee for a dog license in China.
Personally I wouldn’t really consider having a dog here as my apartment is far too small and areas near my apartment don’t offer much for talking walks. I seriously considered it though while living in PuDong near Century Park. That area has quite a few areas for nice dog walks.

500 for a pekinese is about right.
Me and my girlfriend bought ours for a bit more.
He’s known around the neighbourhood as “800 kuai Pepe.”

I have a much more cost effective way for you – adopt fom SCAA! My pups was found on the street and a right mess – we got her fixed up (900rmb for the vacinations etc) and now she’s happy and healthy!

Just buy a dog there as you will have saved one from a life on the street and abuse.

Im looking at buying a Samoyed but having alot of trouble locating a breeder here in China, anyone got any ideas (dont say search the web please, 3 hours later and not being able to read Chinese writing does not help in the slightest).
Any contacts would be appreciated.

Hello we are looking to get a husky puppy but after looking into the pet shops and such have decided against it unless we can find a breeder pref an English breeder who can ensure relevent checks for parents and pups. I know it is a big ask but does anyone have any ideas?
thanks
