   Are your dogs  expensive?

Answer: Expensive as compared to what? To buying a cheap puppy from a newspaper ad and finding out it isn't healthy or even purebred? The care and dedication that has gone into the breeding and raising of a County Line puppy is reflected in the price. Showing a dog to it's Championship to prove it's quality can cost thousands. Breeding to a Top Winning dog can cost thousands depending on whether you send the dam to be bred, do artificial insemination or an implant.  Hobby breeders like myself keep their puppies until they are at least 8 weeks old (and sometimes several months longer than that) to make sure they have a good start as well as to evaluate their potential for show. Add to that health screenings such as Hips, Elbows, Eyes, Thyroid & Heart, veterinary care for the dam and her puppies, top quality food, vaccinations, wormings,  and the average hobby breeder is lucky to break even on a litter. If the cost of a good quality purebred dog is beyond your budget, then you may need to re-think your dog ownership plans. Perhaps rescuing an adult that is already spayed or neutered and is fully vaccinated is a more realistic plan for you. The price that you pay for a puppy is minimal compared to raising, owning, & veterinary care for the life of the dog.
