AND.. pedigreed dogs have more serious and frequent health problems, like displasia, tooth loss, eye problems, and weak lungs. They require watching and pampering to a much greater degree than mutts do. Vet expenses are astronomical and always come during weekends and holidays when you have to go to an emergency clinic at 3 times the usual cost. If you buy a show quality you pay up to $10,000; AKC Registered pet-quality dogs start at $650 in the states where I have known breeders. And letting the breeder choose the dog for you is begging to have it stuck to you, Mari. You pays your nickle and makes YOUR choice, or wait until a better opportunity. Goin' kinda fast, Mari, I'm inclined to agree with Wolf on this. I want you to be happier than just for the first few days after you get the little guy.
