What a cute dog. If you don't mind me asking what's a ballpark of what you pay?

All said it will be between $3-4k.

When he was a puppy he had reconstructive surgery on his rear leg after being hit by a car. That one was over $5k. He's been an extremely costly dog, but I really love him a lot. He's a great, cuddly, friendly and emotionally in-tune friend.

You sound like a great pet-owner.

They're part of the family. Like Kafke said, why get a pet if you're not willing to care for them? Unfortunately just about anyone can get one. -what's even worse is when these types of people have children.

Edit: sad post I wrote about my childhood dog. -unfortunately, sometimes no amount of money will cure what ails them.
