Me too!
OP - You really want to be careful if you only have a $400 budget to purchase the puppy. Have you thought about the cost of lifelong care of any dog? Even a healthy dog is going to have annual expenses that may be out of your budget if you aren't planning accordingly - monthly heart worm and flee prevention, booster shots, etc. If you have $400 to pay for a puppy, I would suggest you save at least another $400 for initial expenses - spay/neuter, wellness check, puppy boosters, and supplies (pee pads, food, bowls, bedding etc.) and then start looking. I'm not suggesting you can't afford a puppy, just that you need to get your budget in line first.
