Montana dog breeder, Svalinn, trains rare protective dogs that also act as family dogs. The animals are priced at $150,000 for clients who want to take extra safety measures.
There won't be anyone barking up your tree if you can swing $150,000 for this fido. Svalinn, a dog breeding company based in Livingston, Montana, raises and trains protection dogs by mixing characteristics of different breeds. The company has been making headlines and the pets appear to be sparking conversations on social media.
On TikTok, there are more than 101 million posts related to "Svalinn Security Dog," and #svalinnworkingdogs has over 1,000 posts on Instagram. The high price of the dogs is in part due to the minimum of 1,000 hours of training that starts when the pups are 8 weeks old. Svalinn crosses breeds of German shepherds, Dutch shepherds, and Belgian shepherds, and not all the dogs are the same. Each has their own distinct appearance and temperament, with some being a better fit for a family.
One Svalinn canine owner, who declined to give her name and location for privacy reasons, said she purchased one of the dogs since her husband travels for work. "I found myself wanting an extra layer of protection beyond my home alarm system. My dogs are protectors, companions, and incredibly cuddly and loving pals," she told FOX Business via email. Svalinn sells about 18 to 20 dogs per year.
There are hundreds of thousands of great dogs out there. I'm not a dog snob, but what separates Svalinn from anybody else in the market is that we are purposefully cross breeding in-house," Greene said. With the hefty price, clients get 24/7 support throughout the pups' lives. "It's a labor of love to raise the animals, and it's a labor of passion to stay connected to all of our canine owners," Greene said.
