The price of your puppy is just one cost. Most byb's don't do health checks, have you read the ER forum, cost of surgeries is very high. LP around $1600 for one leg, Liver shunt $3000.00, AAI $7.000. If you are on a budget, saving for a dog is the smartest thing you can do, not only is the financial cost high in owning a poorly bred dog, the emotional cost is much higher. Also, you have a huge puppy mill in Lancaster, be sure to visit the breeders home in person to make sure you're not supporting a puppy mill breeder.
