I think a good rule of thumb would be the cost of the pup plus a cushion of 1000. to 1500. for initial vet cost (well puppy checkup, shots, heartguard, flea preventative meds, supplies (crate, dishes, grooming supplies like shampoos, conditioner, combs, brushes, toys, bows, nail clippers, hair clippers. etc.) clothing if you want clothing, spay/neuter fees.
