**Because I work full have my moms-to-be stay with a mid-wife that my clinic has. She has a set up at her home to keep expecting moms on labor watch for 24 hrs round the clock. I send my mom's there 2 days before they are due so that they can be monitored and watched by someone experience who can handle any situation in my absense. That alone costs me $80 a day.
**Then a c-section if there was a problem.
**Once the puppies are here I pay to have tails and dews done, all shots are done by my vet they have at least 2 sets before leaving.
**Stools are checked, they are on flea prevention, and will have a full blood panel to clear them of LS any other health problems that can be seen in the blood. I also alter my puppies before placing them now. The spay is done by Laparscopy which costs twice as much as the traditional spay.
Now this is what I do, I have to do some extras because I work but for the most part are these expenses you should expect.

Thank for the info. I am going to print this if you don't mind.

I had this done with both of my girls, my vet recommended it.

Lexi has had this done. My first vet that spayed her missed an ovary and she went into heat at 9 months old. My new vet did the vaginal test and 4 progestrone tests to make she she was in heat not something else...( this test was $60 each time)
Sounds like you are a very good breeder. Thanks...
