One might get lucky and might choose the healther pup from a litter when buying from a newpaper, sure. BUT, bargin shopping for a pup is not something I am willing to do. I got a steal on Maddie from the classifieds, however, 2 and a half years later and numerous trips to our vet, the Emergency clinic, and the UT Vet. school to see specialists...$1000 dollars doesn't begin to touch what I have spent on her. All these trips were for ONE genetic disorder she has.

Who can afford to pay $1000 for a pup?
The answer is simple- IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT, DON'T BUY ONE.

ETA: I bought Maddie before I was a member here and found YT while searching for answers one Sunday as she was running around dragging her face on the floor.
