If budget is an issue, I'd check the cost of typical vet charges for your area. If you are looking into a rescue they might need some follow up vet care and that could cost quite a bit. Same, if not more so, for a newborn puppy.
It can run into the hundreds.
Many breeder charge 1k+ (our next litter will run 2k each) but they include all shots, guaranteed and come with everything a new owner would need in their puppy pack. If there is a problem (which we have never had due to proper breeding) we will cover associated vet bills up to the cost of the puppy within the first year. Just something to keep in mind.............
