To insure a dog, mine is a labrador bitch, not a big dog at all, but good pet insurance can cost £20 a month, and rises annually. Feed on top and kennels if and when you go away for hols and such.
The food and will cost possibley an extra £10 t0 20 a month also toys etc, not to mention poo bags. Any preliminary vet fee will be £30 ish per first visit.
I tried in vain to dissuade my daughter from getting on, but you guessed it after I met Crystal I immediately went to the same breeder and bought Amber. I would not be without her now. Think hard and ong before you do it. Best wishes.
