Doberman and Saint Bernard??

Question

What would be the cost for a dobe puppy. For the whole year..shots, food, fleas, grooming. And what would it be for a Saint Bernard puppy??

Answer 1

Dobie needs more, ears, tail shots, training.

Saint Bernard shots, grooming, lots of food.

Answer 2

You should expect to spend at least $2500 for the first year of a pet quality dog.

Roughly $1000 to purchase one from a good breeder then another $1000 in supplies and vet bills.  The extra $500 is for additonal things that may not be necessary, but you may want (ear cropping, dobe specific stuff, training).

For a St. Bernard pup, it may be more because of the size of the dog.  I'd add another $200, at least.  

These are two very different breeds of dog.  Hopefully this is just an academic question.
