Answer 2

Your question worries me. Even if you don't pay much for a dog initially, dogs are expensive. You have the small stuff. Collar, leash, license, food and water bowls, bed, crate, toys, tooth brush and paste. Then you get into what to feed the dog. A low cost poor quality food that will have you asking questions like,"why does my dogs breath smell so bad?" "why does my dog have a bad body odor?" "what can i give my dog to give it a shiny coat?" "why does my dog scratch all the time?" That's what cheap food can do for your dog. Now a premium quality food has the nutrients a dog needs without the corn and wheat fillers that cause problems and they don't have by products (want to feed your dog cancerous tissue?) Premium quality foods come at a premium price but they are worth it. Okay so far the dog hasn't cost much, what $100.00 maybe $200.00? But we haven't been to the vet yet. Shots, wormer, never use otc's, they can kill your dog. Fleas? Still needs a vet, again otc's are harmful, even fatal. Spay/neuter, unless you are goining to add to the millions of homeless dogs that die every year. Then there's the anual vet visits for shots and check up, including dental. Yes those teeth will need cleaned to stay healthy. Bad teeth cause other health problems which will be more vet bills. The anual vet visits are when the dog is young and healthy. As it gets older it will need semi-anual visits. Then there's the dogs that develope diseases and need ongoing care and meds. Oh, did I mention when the dog gets ill and/or injured (and it will) it will need a vet then? Free dog? Cheap dog? There is no such thing.

Answer 3

The reason that so many are expensive is because of the quality that you are paying for. By quality I mean they normally have proven blood lines that do not show heredity diseases and most good ones give warranties against health defects. I would suggest adoption. Those wonderful dogs all need loving home seven if they aren't pruebred. Give a camponion a chance, you might be surprised.

Answer 4

adopt one from a shelter.they aren`t free but don`t cost as much as buying from a breeder;you get to save a life;get a new best friend that will love you unconditionally;and if you have your mind set on a pure_bred,you can find them or a great mixed breed.they come in all sizes and colors and need loving homes.

Answer 5

Look into rescuing one online or at the pound. I got my minpin from the Humane Society.

A vet should be able to help you find a rescue org or a breeder who would have that info.

Answer 6

Try petfinder.com. This is great because you can look at shelters that are close to you. Yes, they are dogs at shelters but those make the best pets becaues they know you are saving their lives :)

Answer 7

My brother is part of the dashund resucue of North America. If you want one of those, I can get you in touch w/ him. Or, if you know what breed you want look for rescue leagues of that type.

Answer 8

Contact a rescue in your area for the breed of dog that you are looking for...pom, maltese, chihuahua, yorky...etc.

Answer 9

yup the "toy" dogs usually are real expensive. they also seem to have the most health issues also, since they are usually purebreeds. get a real dog.

Answer 10

Try www.craigslist.com

There is almost always someone needing to rehome their puppy for one reason or another. Just type in your location.
