I live in S. Korea and got my Eury from a vet recommended great pet shop. She didn't come with papers but papers don't make the dog to me. She is a very healthy puppy with a big personality. She's been to an American vet and a Korean vet and both say is very healthy and that's all that's important to me. While many peeps want a truly tiny dog, ie "teacup", I believe that as long as they are healthy and happy size truly doesn't matter.
I do have to say the cost of vets in the US are OUTRAGEOUS! Here in S. Korea the average vet visit for a checkup is $10 and with shots around $30. We have been several times to our vet, as is common with puppies with shots, etc and our total cost is less than $100. Now I don't know how much surgical costs are but from what a friend told me, they do a wonderful job and are extremely reasonable in price. So, if the care is definitely above par (they even text and call your cell phone to remind you that shots are due, etc) and the price is so reasonable, why on earth are prices for vets in the US so outrageously high??? I guess the answer is, it's all about profit, profit, profit. *shaking head*
