I always thought one of the factors in the price of a pooch is also the amount of money invested by the breeder.
They search for the best dogs to breed. Sometimes they pay for shipping or their own airfare to buy that sire or dam.
Then all the veterinary care for the parents and the pups once they come along.
Not to mention feeding, bathing, cleaning supplies, potty pads.
Some breeds aren't as numerous, so making the connections can be a bit more costly. |
