You can pay less then a $1,000.00 for your puppy. In the Indy paper I see puppies from $500.00 to $1,800.00. Many are not AKC registered, many are 5-7 weeks of age. When you call and ask questions the breeders know nothing about the breed or have them advertised as Teacup, toy and standard. Many have never been to the vet and have no health warranty at all.

I had a person call me over the holidays she bought a puppy out of the paper right before Christmas and it died on New Years day. Went thru all the do's and don'ts. She is buying another puppy out of the paper because her family can't wait. She would have been better off to have paid more for that healty baby that had a health warranty. Instead she has the cost of purchasing two puppies and the $1,000.00 that she stated she paid in medical for the dead puppy. Some people never learn. That cheap puppy is not always cheap- may have numerouse health problems and may not be the quality that you are looking for.
