Puppies for Sale in Nevada

There's no official state dog for Nevada.

The cost of a puppy in Nevada can range significantly depending on the breed, typically anywhere between $1,500 to $3,000 or more.

In Nevada, a puppy can usually leave its mom at around 8 weeks old, though reputable breeders often prefer to wait until the puppy is 10-12 weeks to ensure they're properly weaned and socialized.

Distinguishing a backyard breeder from a reputable one involves looking at their breeding practices; responsible breeders prioritize the health and temperament of their dogs, are knowledgeable about the breeds they work with and screen prospective owners carefully.

To find a good breeder in your area, you can consult the American Kennel Club (AKC) breeder referral list, seek recommendations from local veterinarians, or visit dog shows.

Nevada has specific laws for dog breeders, requiring them to have a permit if they have 11 or more female dogs capable of reproduction or if they sell more than forty dogs in a year; this law helps ensure proper care for animals and maintains standards against puppy mills.
