For a healthy pup, I spent about $1000 the first year for neutering, vaccinations, flea & ticks preventatives, and office visits. We live outside the big metropolitan area, so our costs are a little lower.
It's wise to have insurance, a savings account, and a credit card with extra room -- some kind of plan for the unforeseen medical problems that can cost thousands.
